Like a Knife In My back, With Every Movement...

I feel the hatred you once had.
I feel the tears you've cried.
I feel it all slipping away
But it was you, and I know it

So it will stay, here, in my head.
I will mourn that it ever existed
And cheer that it is gone
But like a knife in my back I feel it
Such pain twangs in my mind

Your escape is my prison
I won't leave because you had to
I replace you and take the sentence
Of one who wrongfully imprisoned others.

My sentence will run out
The knife will be pulled
Truth placed it in me
Blade blocking me from bleeding out.

Your escape is my prison
I won't leave because you chose to
I replace you and take the sentence
Of one who wrongfully imprisoned others.

Such a wonderful person
But your range was taken away
Your abilities dwindled
You escaped
Your pain is my prison
A sentence of one who wrongfully imprisoned

I replace you and take my punishment
I feel the pain that once was
Run away and be free
I am here in your place

I imprisoned without deliberation
Accidents are still crimes.
If you were here
We'd both be prisoners
I can't control this knife

Like a knife in my back
With every movement
You scratch at my mind.
