Chronic Twilight - Dire Transgressions

Here is the sum of all my parts
On display, for you to aim at my heart
Silence me and tear me down
Insist that I’m torn apart

I won’t give it all away again,
No, I won’t give it all away
I won’t let you see behind the mask
No, I won’t let you…

Claiming me, and framing me
The kind of love that feels like theft
Shaming me, and blaming me
Until there’s nothing but ire left

Doors unlock, as your tricks play out
I’m Led to believe,
That you’re the rain to end this drought
Wash it away, drown me in cliché
Make me feel like I’m lost within
Make me see I’m lost without

I won’t see you just one more time
No, I won’t see you again
I won’t see you, I won’t see you
I won’t see you just one more time
I can’t subject myself
When I can’t trust myself
I owe myself too much to beg

Shaming me, blaming me
Until there’s nothing but ire left

Closer now, further now
Why can’t you just decide?
You chase me down, you break me down
This is why we collide
No, I won’t see, no I can’t see
I won’t see you one more time

We turn, we turn
We spin inside this circle
Until we’re dizzy and drunk again
We’re drunk again…
You’ve learned, you’ve learned
How to make me jump through hurdles
Until what life is left freely drains

Leave me be, leave me be
Release me from the trick of your touch
Mystery leads to misery
I’ll make this next trip without a crutch
And without your touch
