More Lives Than A Cat

Night after night, desires burned in you
Inferno, incognito
Love after love, the fires
​turned icy blue
You loved them hot
You left them cold
What lies, truth be told
What did your heart scream to you when you pulled out the knife?
You were stabbed by guilt
And stabbed by shame
You screamed bloody murder
Conscience whispers

A new conquest saw you coming
Reading your lips in infrared
Seeing the lies you have said
But, your eyes make them sweet as wine and candy
He believes and takes your poison
Not caring if it takes his life
What did he scream to you when you pulled out the knife?
He cried "Die, you fucking bitch! Die!"

You were stabbed by guilt
Stabbed again by shame
He stabbed you with the truth by calling you a liar
You were put on a stake and set on fire
As you burned, he called you a witch 
And shot you when he screamed "Die, bitch!"
You cried bloody murder
And conscience whispers

You went home and looked in the mirror
The reflection was so much clearer
Eyeshadow ran from your teary eyes
Washing away everything but the lies
You struck the mirror, it shattered
​​​​​You picked up a shard to cut your wrist
Instead, your heart was cut in two
By the lies that haunted you
Each one of them killed you

Then came the acts
All the times you cheated 
All the times you mistreated
All the times you hurt me
Every single flame that you lit
Burned you to death
Every single kiss
Took your last breath
