The Danger That Comes at Love’s End

You tear me apart
There’s nothing left and I’m falling
Falling faster through the waters that drown
Your words bite my flesh and sink to the bone
Where nothing remains and I’m sinking
Sinking deeper through the darkness
That you’ve become

One minute and you hit the switch
Your eyes were soft and now they harbor daggers
Dangerous, so dangerous
You’ve already taken everything
And still you thirst for more

You’re playing hard
With hands no longer empty and I’m hurting
Hurting from bruises no one can see on me
Your words sting like a scorpion digging in so deep
Where all that remains is a gaping scar
A scar that will forever remain
Of what we were

One minute and you hit the switch
Your eyes were soft and now they harbor daggers
Dangerous, so dangerous
You’ve already taken everything
And still you thirst for more

You’ve got the dagger in your hands
Are you losing your mind, you’ve got my heart in pieces
Pieces that fell around us on the floor for endless days
Your thoughts penetrate take hold with vice-like grip
Where what remains is the ashes of love
Love that you pushed away
That we had

One minute and you hit the switch
And there’s a bass in my chest deeper than the sky
Dangerous thumping that might stop my blood
Resounding through the hollow that’s left
And you keep on hitting those drums anyway
What’s left to take
What’s left to take
