The swelling in my head
returns as a reminder
that I'm not out of the clear.
And all the nightmares
that I suffer while I sleep?
You might as well be standing here.
And all the times
that you said "I'm leaving",
I'm seething.
Because I know that when I turn
you'll be there,
still standing.
And every lie that had me
believing
keeps reeling.
Inside my head until the day
I drain it
permanently
What will it take
for me to jump first?
I know you'd love to see it...
And when I hit the ground
I know you'll be the one
to cry first.
Because I know my death
won't be enough,
you'll have to make it worse.
Yet here I stand,
here you stand, and I
can't stand it.
And if I have to kill you first,
I'll do it.
I swear it.
Cause prison's nothing
to this prison I'm in.
This world I threw myself in.
When did temptation yield a sense of respect for myself?
The swelling in my head
returns as a reminder that
I'm killing you today.
And the thought of my thumbs
pressed against your windpipe
makes the swelling go away.
