Vendetta



I took the bullet for my convictions
It went through clean and bled me dry 
A forced indictment and lonely suffering
I'm desperate enough to say I was lying

I could let this flow down the river 
Take me with you I beg I can't remember
Why the only nights I forget are the ones that stole my breath
And the daze I know like the back of my hand 
Capture the storm I set loose by blaming the deck
Enough to let me know I'm making a fool of myself

I trust the scarlet letters because I wrote them
What was supposed to be a healthy confession
Is now the weight I have to prove was always there
And not some petty vendetta that's outgrown it's shell

I could let this flow down the river 
Take me with you I beg I can't remember
Why the only nights I forget are the ones that stole my breath
And the daze I know like the back of my hand 
Capture the storm I set loose by blaming the deck
Enough to let me know I'm making a fool of myself

I am reasonable where it matters
Why must I be so rational when it's just so tiresome?
I'm dramatic when I know I need the attention
Hypersonic scheming l like to do when being shrewd has lost its cool
I am difficult when I'm questioned about things I say I don't know
I am bad at being superficial like a clown with no costume 
I can be funny to diffuse the tension 
A supersonic descent when they realize I'm not joking
I'm just that miserable

I could let this flow down the river 
Take me with you I beg I can't remember
Why the only nights I forget are the ones that stole my breath
And the daze I know like the back of my hand 
Capture the storm I set loose by blaming the deck
Enough to let me know I'm making a fool of myself.
