I wasn't well for a while.
I savored the things that I knew were sure to destroy me
And that seemed to hold me.
That seemed to carry me where I couldn't go
On the strength of my own.
Well, I should've known
That gets me nowhere.
I've learned that now I swear.

Though I punish myself
I will never settle.
The debts I've incured for scorning the face
Of absolute beauty, and measureless grace.

I was away for a while
But I'm hoping someday you'll forgive me.
Though I don't deserve it
I'll cherish it well if you give me one of your new starts.

Hey girl, you've got a short fuse
And I've got designs on lighting you up.
And setting you off, and watching you burn for me xXx
