Destruction

 

Don't let me stop,

Your great self-destruction,

I will not be caught in your web,

Of lies and deception,

Self hate, insurrection,

You've made it, now lay in your bed.

 

Don't let me help,

Your doubt and self-loathing,

Don't pull me straight down your one-way,

No turns and no lights,

No strength left to fight,

For your past, I can no longer pay.

 

Don't let me know,

That inside there's true feeling,

Forgotten too deep under pain,

Despise life, despise me,

Close your eyes, so you can't see,

Ne'er will I try it again.

 

You have won, what you needed,

To prove right your prediction,

You've convinced me, there no more to do,

I wish I'd believed, more,

Of your self-reproaching roar,

So naively, I tried to melt through.

 

Now I know I can't stop,

Your cruel self-destruction,

With all I had, I tried to help you,

You fought back so much harder,

Sent my love to the slaughter,

End's now forced, I must find something new.
