Connection//Severed You have made me an offer I need to refuse Each one of your kisses Leaves me with a bruise But I thought I could take it Trying to endure Send my nails down my arm In a feeling so pure So it seems like already You possess control The contract the binds us Has swallowed me whole And thus you remind me Of the feeling of love My thoughts all turn to death There's no heaven above And I know you're not the one to blame I agreed to meet you in this game When burnt you cannot hate the flame You hate that from whence it came I balanced on the edge of sleep A dream holding me still In it I was losing you But now the memories chill But I knew that is was just a dream That in reality we were connected But by the next night You made me fear I'd be rejected You said this wasn't all you wanted That you eventually must leave And our connection would be severed Our worlds wholly cleaved You only wanted to be casual And I agreed that's what we'd do But I cannot trade all of me For just some of you And I know you're not the one to blame I agreed to meet you in this game When burnt you must douse the flame I'll forget your face but keep your name
