Paradox
You’re both a death sentence
and my oxygen
Just like a tourniquet
when a bone is broken
A deadly medicine,
A toxic antidote
And the lullaby i’ve got memorized
down to the final note.
You picked me up from hell
and left me to die just there.
We both know you can save me,
but you just don’t really care.
You try and piece me slowly
and I break when you hold me,
but I’ll pretend I’m fine
because you alone are my lifeline.
(Inside, you make me want to die.)
