Betrayal's Core

You carved your name in the back of my spine Sharp words Dull lies They tangled the vine Drinks on the table Whispers in code Who knew the road would be a dead man’s road? Static in my ears Like you’re still here How could you? How could you? You ripped me open Tore out the core My trust My faith Left on the floor A friend’s betrayal cuts sharper than steel The wound won’t heal It won’t heal Cigarettes burning The ash in the breeze Secrets like embers They sting They seize Your laugh echoes A hollowed-out tune I gave you my daylight You left me the moon Your shadow lingers I can’t outrun What’s undone Is undone You ripped me open Tore out the core My trust My faith Left on the floor A friend’s betrayal cuts sharper than steel The wound won’t heal It won’t heal
