Temperance from Concrete by Pity Party

Awake, I relive each moment,
This room holds my discontent.
You over me,
everything was empty,
I held my breath, you consumed me.

I always begged for your temperance.
You set soil in each precious moment.
I lay silently with my own shame.
I only wanted your refrain.

How did it come to this?
How do we grow from it?
The steps forward diminishing.
And when we sit with everything,
we wilt away, we wilt away.
Where is my home in this decay?

I always begged for your temperance.
You set soil in each precious moment.
I lay silently with my own shame.
I always begged for your temperance.
You set soil in each precious moment.
I lay silently with my own shame.
I only wanted your refrain.

I know you know it too.
Cause they hunger and hurt more than you.
I know you know it too.
Shivering, the narcissist consumes.

I always begged for your temperance.
You set soil in each precious moment.
I lay silently with my own shame.
I only wanted your refrain.
not for you to stay.
I only wanted your refrain.
To ever feel safe.
