Rope Burn And Red Lines

What was the reaction you were expecting

When we found you hanging from the ceiling?

Shame or remorse, fact is no one cared

Nothing remains for the last parts have been erased

Lost from your eyes is even the cold

The building pain left with a final breath

Point made but never taken only to your heart

Calloused and bleeding, a horrid mess to mend

And that's why it never was

Careless are the remnant you left behind

So this will always be the day marked with fallen roses

Peddle by peddle they weep for you with no tears

Now for those who you thought were close

Were never close at all, and see they left you hanging

Staring up with eyes of confusion

They say that there was nothing they could do to save you

But it was all a lie, and they've lived in its grasp for all time

Twilight on a life that was shinning in midday

This should never happen with so many hands of hope around

Yet the noose was still slipped around your neck and pulled tight

Kicking back the chair you went into grief laced limbo

So for a briefness you swayed between pain and punishment

Desecrating the temple that was not yours, the idols fell prostate

Seeing for once that it all didn't matter but it was all too late

Now only you have paid the price that was already met

And those who were made to suffer, receive no judgement

It was all a facade, and you only know it now

But it's too late to come back, you've taken it too far

It's too late to come back
