I am the only one
Who knows exactly what you've done
Descending far below
The darkest places that I'd ever go
And now most every night
A voice in pain that finds me alone
And in so many ways
We both hide weapons of our own
The books are burning
Per this severity
The snake is coiling
Why should I have to lie?
My life is haunted by your secret
How you said it's the only one you regret
There's something scary, what you want me to do
When they come looking for you
Writhing, God, it's like a bee sting
In the eardrum, then you start screaming
There's something scary, I know you're feeling it too
When they come looking for you
Were you always scared?
Licking the sharp blade of d**h
Either way, it's changed
I'm no longer one of the trusted
You never had to run very far
And now it seems like you're almost bragging
It's you, it's me, publicity makes three
We've all seen it on TV
The books are burning
Per this severity
The snake is coiling
Why should I have to lie?
My life is haunted by your secret
How you said it's the only one you regret
There's something scary, what you want me to do
When they come looking for you
Writhing, God, it's like a bee sting
In the mirror, then you start screaming
There's something scary, I know you're feeling it too
When they come looking for you
And they'll come looking for you
One day, when you're much older
Locked away, hidden from everyone
You'll be forgotten, oh, you know that it's true
I'll still be thinking of you
