This place we’re in
Breathes with the sin
I know it was you
It’s written in your eyes

The thoughts untangle
And show their intent
It’s a miscast spell
I know what it meant

This isn’t the first time
And it won’t be the last
I’ve committed no crime
The future lies in the past

Scars that won’t heal
Hearts that can’t feel
A question without answer
Poisons a mind like cancer

A broken mind on the mend
A king’s ransom for a queen
It’s all a race to the end
But what does it all mean?
