Spirit Breaker

(album: Fault - 2019)

My retina exposed
My memories outlined in gold
Hindsight bites back like a bitch and it's got me in a fucking chokehold
I let what we had die and what we didn't fester
Into this unrequited love that poured this into to paper

I wish the best for you my dear
But you will never find that here

Spirit breaker, do me a favour
Cut me open, let me see inside
I'm more than a man, but a mess of a lover
Cut me open and you'll understand

I felt a turn in my chest
Like you had the key
Cold snapped across your hands
Breaking in two
Leaving in me

It's north or south motherfuckers
Take a pick
Which one will you choose?
I am reluctant to move
'Cause there's nowhere to go between a rope and a railroad

The fault
The guilt at the blood we spilt
Loneliness is a hell of a drug
And I can't get enough

Spirit breaker, do me a favour
Cut me open, let me see inside
I'm more than a man, but a mess of a lover
Cut me open and you'll understand

Tell me it's all in my head
Tell me it's all make believe
You gave too much that I had to leave

I wished the best for you my dear
