"Elegy" lyrics

"Elegy"

I've done enough
To figure out that nobody can take this feeling
I'm looking up, it's clear now
I suffered but it gave me meaning
You had me burnt at the stake
But I'm alive, I'm awake
Living without you
I took the fire to the fuse

'Cause I gave you all a part of me
I found you at the murder scene
You questioned my integrity again, again, again
But I rose above the gravity
The sky, the earth and all between
You've written out my elegy again, again, again

My head is fucking haunted
They're coming for my soul
You've taken everything you wanted
But did you consider the toll?
Hell no
A guilty conscience?
I doubt that you'd ever had one
I see you Dracula, burning out in the cold sun
Maybe you're too unaware, violent animal
Living but dead to the world

'Cause I gave you all a part of me
I found you at the murder scene
You questioned my integrity again, again, again
But I rose above the gravity
The sky, the earth and all between
You've written out my elegy again
Written out my elegy again, again, again

Sweet Jesus, don't leave us
Don't tear us into pieces

You'll sit before my throne
That's all you're good for
Don't grieve, not for me
Set free, nothing off the record
Spare me the third degree
I'll break every stone that you throw

Will you ever hear the end of me?
I soaked you in the gasoline
I'll never need an enemy again, again, again, again
