Lyrics Vita Versus - Cardiac Atrophy

at least I tried

she doesn’t want the help

she lost herself

in a bottle of cheap wine

looking for a good time

mind you

she was confined to

a twisted state of mind

why do you try to

push any one away

who gave a damn about you anyway

self destruction is in your nature

yet anyone who calls you out is labeled a hater

don’t think that this is over

my feet have carried me this far

but I’m crippled by the weight

of a heavy heart

and now I’m slipping away

bleak expressions and outward offenses

shake the notion that you’re defenseless

don’t ever say that you didn’t intend to offend

a gaze like venom corrupting weak hearts of men

was I looking for trouble

or am I the victim

all I know is I’m happy that

you’re out of my system

confronted by the fault

enthralled by the fear

jealous is an ugly color

but it flatters you my dear

and at the end of this catastrophe

I’m praying that it’s not the end of me

I thought that we could make this right

if you could then you would

but you can’t so you won’t

now you remain a slave to a clockwork throne

to find a place to call my own

my feet have carried me this far

but now I’m crippled by the weight

of a heavy heart

and now I’m slipping away

silence hangs heavy

on the stale air you breathe

a statuesque vision of every wasted opportunity

once framed with poise

now just another empty hollow husk

in a way I suppose it’s fitting

I always knew you’d be the death of us

but I won’t let you be the death of me

my feet have carried me this far

but I’m crippled by the weight

of a heavy heart
