Awake, I relive each moment
This room holds my discontent
You over me
Everything was empty
I held my breath, you consumed me

I always begged for your temperance
You set soil in each precious moment
I lay silently with my own shame
I only wanted your refrain

How did it come to this?
How do we grow from it?
The steps forward diminishing
And when we sit with everything
We wilt away, we wilt away
Where is my home in this decay?

I always begged for your temperance
You set soil in each precious moment
I lay silently with my own shame
I always begged for your temperance
You set soil in each precious moment
I lay silently with my own shame
I only wanted your refrain

I know you know it too
'Cause they hunger and hurt more than you
I know you know it too
Shivering, the narcissist consumes

I always begged for your temperance
You set soil in each precious moment
I lay silently with my own shame
I only wanted your refrain
Not for you to stay
I only wanted your refrain
To ever feel safe
