destructions the construction

to this new me I'm conducting

all the music I've rewritten

to expose the girl you've smitten

threads like fuses to the landmines

you left hidden from my blind eyes

now unraveling before me

lost and discarded, your loves debris

I'm out of order, out of sorts

I'm out of time, left me a corpse

cause there is no cure for your disease

leaving your victims, nearly deceased

breathing and gasping, begging release

but you give chaos, offering peace

the darkness follows in your shadows

keeping tabs on wherever you go

a path of broken, left in your wake

trusting your smile, a fatal mistake

your ray of light, begs for surrender

but you're the fight, the "soul" contender

I may be dismayed, confused and frayed

but I've learned my lesson, I'll be okay

save you final words for another day

I've dug my way out of your grave
