When all that I had to give was rotted out and hollow
I held out my cards to see them sneering back at me
“Such pitiful eyes, you seem
A foolish one to follow”
Like animals sharpening their teeth
I left the world I knew
All I was
Queen of hearts
I tore her up as I ran
Past the ending
Past where I restart
And sometimes I come back
Come back to this hell
So it can remind me
Of the pain that I felt
The scars will never fade away
But I wouldn’t have it any other way
They remind me of the darkness I’ve been in
Sacrifices made just to keep on living
In the end
My choices are mine alone
Sins are mine to atone
But I don’t regret it
Move on and let it be
Or keep living in the darkness with the demons that are killing me
I left the world I knew
All I was
Queen of hearts
I tore her up as I ran
Past the ending
Past where I restart
Let me get away
Let me breathe
Let me fucking breathe
Let me go
I left the world I knew
All I was
Queen of hearts
I tore her up as I ran
Past the ending
Past where I restart
