Cruel/Twisting the Knife (Demo) Lyrics

You don't get to be cruel anymore

Stop twisting the knife

You don't have that control anymore

I've severed the ties

I can't shake the visual

And I hate you for that

But I know that it will blur with time

I will not always be sad

I took all your trauma

And I made it my own

Every excuse in the playbook

I never said no

I tended your illness

I wouldn't leave it alone

I got high off the drama

Left you with nowhere to go

Our lives were like ships

Crashing into each other

We got twisted and tumbled

But I never loved another

As deeply, I begged you to keep holding me under

We were sick broken lovers

You slipped through me like butter

I know you stopped loving me

And you know that's fine

I'm proud of the life I went after

Of how hard I tried

You needed space to fuck up

To shatter my trust

Now all my memories are colored all over

With this shitty white dust

And you've left a hole in me

Not from leaving my life

But from scooping out the parts of me

Slowly but surely

By twisting the knife

I took all your trauma

And I made it my own

Every excuse in the playbook

I never said no

I tended your illness

I wouldn't leave it alone

I got high off the drama

It's the closeness I know

Our lives were like ships

Crashing into each other

We got twisted and tumbled

But I never loved another

As deeply, I begged you to keep holding me under

We were sick broken lovers

You slipped through me like butter

I hope she finds a way to escape without a bruise

And I hope for her sake she doesn't try to love you

You always had such a nihilistic point of view

And I'm sad, but I'll never be as tragic as you
