Nirvana from Focus by Clarity

I've been your prisoner for far too long.
Trapped in a chamber of hearts that's gotten cold.
I could have written a novel for the way that I fell for you.
But I cursed your name and tore the pages.
Burn it down, and ignite the flame.
Rinse my hands and bleach the stains.
It gives me such relief that I am not permanently your slave.
A pawn inside your game.
I cut my own damn strings and now I'm free.
Free to live the dream and be all I can be.
I knew it all along, who you admired, when you would go.
The weathered lies of my lover, your skin is like fire on my soul.
She was...
Lust, anger, gluttony, greed, pride, and sloth.
She envies all because her soul is lost.
Ill cut you off, but keep the cancer on my fucking lungs.
The kiss of death is worth more than the lies that roll off your tongue.
It must be hard keeping up with all the lies you say.
It gives me such relief that I am not permanently your slave.
A pawn inside your game.
I cut my own damn strings and now I'm free.
Free to live and dream and be all I can be.
Nirvana, finally.
