Vita Versus Cardiac Atrophy
At least I tried, she doesn't want the help
She lost herself in a bottle of cheap wine
Looking for a good time, mind you
She was confined to a twisted state of mind
Why do you try to push any one away?
Who gave a damn about you anyway?
Self destruction is in your nature
Yet anyone who calls you out is labeled a hater
Don't think that this is over
My feet have carried me this far
But I'm crippled by the weight of a heavy heart
And now I'm slipping away, slipping away
Bleak expressions and outward offenses
Shake the notion that you're defenseless
Don't ever say that you didn't intend to offend
A gaze like venom corrupting weak hearts of men
Was I looking for trouble or am I the victim?
All I know is I'm happy that you're out of my system
Confronted by the fault, enthralled by the fear
Jealous is an ugly color, but it flatters you my dear
And at the end of this catastrophe
I'm praying that it's not the end of me
I thought that we could make this right
If you could then you would, but you can't so you won't
Now you remain a slave to a clockwork throne
To find a place to call my own
My feet have carried me this far
But now I'm crippled by the weight of a heavy heart
And now I'm slipping away
Silence hangs heavy on the stale air you breathe
A statuesque vision of every wasted opportunity
Once framed with poise
Now just another empty hollow husk
In a way I suppose it's fitting
I always knew you'd be the death of us
But I won't let you be the death of me
My feet have carried me this far
But I'm crippled by the weight of a heavy heart
