[Lyric] ​pretext (Capstan)

[Verse 1]
No control
Impulsivity will swallow whole
Any chance to repent or atone
For all the harm that I've done

[Pre-Chorus]
Selfishly, I try to tell myself that I was someone else

[Chorus]
You gave me all you had
But I kept looking back
Ignoring all of the facts
I led us both so far along
I knew that I was wrong
More scared of being alone
Than leaving you so scarred

[Verse 2]
I wouldn't let you go
I dug my claws in deep
I watched the light depart
From your eyes pleading so softly
I know that we will kill the things we love
It's a curse in our blood
[Chorus]
You gave me all you had
But I kept looking back
Ignoring all of thе facts
I led us both so far along
I knew that I was wrong
More scarеd of being alone
Than leaving you so scarred
Selfishly, I try to tell myself
That I was someone else
You gave me all you had
I wish I gave it back
But I burnt us to ash

[Bridge]
I set the fire
Down to your core
Throughout your soul
And I left you there
Atop the pyre
Smoldering
On the coals
I caused this on my own
On my own

[Chorus]
You gave me all you had
But I kept looking back
Ignoring all of the facts
I led us both so far along
I knew that I was wrong
More scared of being alone
Than leaving you so scarred
Selfishly, I try to tell myself
That I was someone else
You gave me all you had
I wish I gave it back
But I burnt us to ash
