Love lies in the dust,

choked by my own trust.

I learned to take,

but never learned to give back.

How could I give you my heart,

if it was already torn apart?

You endured what none could bear,

and I just watched, standing there.

I am the master of destruction,

a creature that no one wants to touch.

Here ends what I once called love,

and nothing asks for what’s above.

It’s not that you were meaningless to me,

you were the world I lost to see.

Yet my self-hate screamed so loud,

it always drowned out your love.

You were the world to me

You were the world to me

You were the strength for both of us,

but even you grew tired, because…

I only know the road down low,

you tried to pull me from below.

But my hands were cold, too stiff to hold,

I wanted to feel, to trust, to fold.

Yet I only ever felt the end,

I could not grasp, I could not mend.

I am the master of destruction,

a creature that no one wants to touch.

Here ends what I once called love,

and nothing asks for what’s above.

It’s not that you were meaningless to me,

you were the world I lost to see.

Yet my self-hate screamed so loud,

it always drowned out your love.

You were the world to me

You were the world to me

Happiness is a foreign word,

a law I placed and always heard.

Pain, my old, faithful companion,

takes your place in my dominion.

And I let it be,

for I don’t know how to fight,

when my own self is the enemy inside.

I am the master of destruction,

a creature that no one wants to touch.

Here ends what I once called love,

and nothing asks for what’s above.

It’s not that you were meaningless to me,

you were the world I lost to see.

Yet my self-hate screamed so loud,

it always drowned out your love.

You were the world to me

You were the world to me

Maybe everything would have been different,

if I could have loved myself.

So I walk this path alone –

not because I want to,

but because I cannot choose.
