Slow Fire

(album: Perfectly Preserved - 2021)

Why won't you just let me go
I was always last to know
Of your empire
More than just existing unknown
Chemicals are twisting me low
Through slow fire

I won't let you do this to me
I can't let you see me like this

Whatever remains it crumbles on you
Whatever remains a wounded heart
I can't recall one thing before you
I can't recall this useless fight

Starving for an ounce of control
Poison slowly taking its hold
Of your desire
Brandish every scar in my soul
Careless always letting it go
As it expires

I won't let you do this to me
I can't let you see me like this

Whatever remains it crumbles on you
Whatever remains a wounded heart
I can't recall one thing before you
I can't recall this useless fight

Through slow fire
I am done

Never again, no never again
I am done
Never again, no never again

Whatever remains it crumbles on you
Whatever remains a wounded heart
I can't recall one thing before you
I can't recall this useless fight

I am done
