***** This is our Entry for the SSC8 Competition ******

I looked at the photos of us from five years ago
You were the one holding me up when I couldn't stand
I told you things I haven't even told my therapist yet
Then I found out you were recording the conversation
You played it for them and they all laughed at my pain
It wasn't a stranger, it was my brother in arms
And that is why the wound refuses to close up.

They say keep your friends close and your enemies closer
But what do you do when they are the same person?
I gave you the key to the front door
I let you sleep on the rug on the floor
I thought I was building a family here
But you were just feeding on all of my fear.

I let you eat eat  from my own plate 
I didn't see the jealousy turn into hate hate
You waited till I turned my back back to the room 
Then you swept my life away with a broom  broom
swept my life away.

Watch the hands, watch the smiles.
They’ll walk with you for a thousand miles.
Just to push you off the edge.
Broken vow, broken pledge.
Watch the hands, watch the smiles.
They are sharpening the files.
shame...
we....
were......
friends.....

It cuts cuts deeper when the knife comes from the passenger seat seat
When the hands that choke you are the same ones that you used to eat eat with
You question your own judgment, you question your own sanity
If the people who share your blood can sell you out out for vanity
Then what hope is there for the rest of the world?
You shrink, you recoil, you curl
You act like a wounded animal because you are a wounded animal
And the worst part isn't the metal in your spine spine
It’s turning around and seeing your best friend's eyes while you're dying dying
It makes you want to burn the whole history book
Because every memory is tainted by the things that they took.

[Instrumental]

So I  i deleted the contact numbers today
I cleared out the the guest room and changed the locks
I stopped going to the places we used to hang out out
It's quiet in here now, really quiet
But at least the silence isn't lying to me
I'd rather be lonely than be the punchline.

I guess the saddest part isn't that you did it.
It's that I still want to call you and tell you about it.
But you're not there anymore.
