The Glass Inside Your Skull

Want your attention
You never notice
With all good intention
Give me a motive
I stare at your picture
Dreaming of leaving
To places in scripture
It won't be deceiving

Knowing that you sense it
I don't deserve this
Through careful attendance
I found your interest
What is it I'm missing
I can be perfect
I wish I was different
I wish I was worth it

I will let you down
I'll say I'm sorry
If it's not enough
My regret will scar me
Nothing ever stops
Everything's keeps going
See what you want to see
Your hate is overflowing

I'll be your blank canvas
Give me a purpose
But what are the chances
I'll be a burden
Condemned to my nature
Arrogance rules me
I'll put us in danger
Your insolence fooled me

A slave to your poison
I made the elixir
A pact with the voices
Told me pull the trigger
Your purification
Is circumstantial
The ash of cremation
Sleeps on my mantle

I will let you down
I'll say I'm sorry
If it's not enough
My regret will scar me
Nothing ever stops
Everything's keeps going
See what you want to see
Your hate is overflowing
