Temper by Meave Lynn Lyrics

oh, you had a temper
birthed from fire
flames spit from your tongue
and you pretend that you are the cleanest one

a tyrant,
that i have to obey
even every word you say leaves me aching for decades
left in a cast with the words that you’ve screamed from the past imprinted all over it
you always were blacked out when you spoke hell
so hot you fell
and when you woke up you always pretended that it was a dream
nothing more than a blur
cut anyone down if they told you otherwise

convinced yourself that they were all lies
those weren’t your bloodied knifes
left holding it all in
cracking at the seems
about to implode
so acidic
like how rain is to stone
these hollow walls whisper everything to me
constantly aware of it all
oh, you have a temper
unjustified anger
and that was all that i ever knew
when i ran from you
i went looking for it
confide in others because it felt like home
it was all that id ever known
