Save Yourself

Everyone looks at me like I am a monster when I was once a king. And now they know I will never amount to anything so sing my canticle, my every chronicle leads to where I have already been and then I know that I will never have peace.

So cut my throat and cut our ties and now I know why you cut my wings before I could learn to fly. And the way you look at me makes me flinch and I see in your eyes that you wonder where I have been and when and if I will ever let you in again.

Engulfed in your stare of ice and I paid the price for what I have done. So let me go and save yourself because I tend to take people down with me like a loaded gun. And it was fun while I won and when I had it rigged, but since then my regret has set in.

I was weak.

You have my apologies.

I am sorry.
