I watch you walk away again
since that’s just who I am
Every night I close my eyes
and see you light the fire
The one that burned my fantasy
You left me charred and broken
but I’m the one that had to look
I couldn’t tear away
and now here I am again
Torture I just can’t stop
The feedback loop stuck on repeat
I can’t slip away
A fantasy I built myself
The walls surround me now
My reward for rampant dreams
that grew beyond control
I suffer for the sin I sowed
tricked into belief
A mirage lay in wait for me
and now I’m stuck within
And though I try to forget now,
to let it fall away
there’s always something creeping in
to bring it all back home
