Despised Icon

by: Despised Icon

The acid reflux in my throat hasn't appeased my taste for bitter blondes
I've twisted so many necks and now their souls daily blind my mind
Your presence, I took for granted
I deceived your confidence
I'll never achieve emotional numbness,
Nor will I enjoy a single peaceful rest
Your presence, I took for granted
I deceived your confidence
Your angelic hand touches my venomous spine
through overwhelming nightmares
I now stand under this Damocles dagger
I'll kill again to lighten apathy towards me
The amazing brightness that makes you so precious
and exceptional tears me apart
I need your presence but my shadow is tarnishing your radiance
I feel remorse but unfortunate events
make my world uglier this morning
Repentance hurts but not enough
