Pest Lyrics draft 4 (Patreon)

Maybe I’m overthinking

But you didn’t try your best

The voices you wielded

Turned you into a pest

Suffocating each moment

Killing her slowly

How long did it take?

Were you ever so worthy?

Your scarlet wrists

Twinkle as they clot

A paltry payment

For the malice you sought

—

You’ve been such a pest

Oh, you’re such a pest

Yes, you’re only a pest

Moved your mountains much too far, over pins and needles

Fastening a string you covet, sewing your own evils

You’ve been such a pest

Oh, you’re such a pest

Yes, you’re only a pest

And if you that it’s all okay, you’re in way over your head

The knife you had brandished won’t wait till you’re dead

-

Oh it’s nothing

It’s only borrowed time

When I see you smile

I think that I might die

—

Should I play into the stereotype I made of myself?

Or is a moment in time what I’m doomed

What’s the point of saving the world or yourself

When the greatest villain is you?

Make your love in the rubble of a crumbling empire

Through dust and through blood ye’ shall wade

Why spend a lifetime trying to fix what’s been broken

When this is the kingdom you’ve made?

How could, how could, how could I

Say that I’m sorry

It’s so it’s so it’s so

Out of reach

Kill and kill and kill and

Kill the past that’s passed

I’m just a penumbra

Of a former pest
