I’ll never overcome these scars! Riddling my body like prizefighters’ marks! I’ve watched the sky collapse at midnight! And storms chase the sun from the horizon! Felt the sting of a scorpion strike! Licked the venom straight from the snake! I’ve bled too many times! I’ve feared too much! Wasted the chances! RUINED IT ALL! Tasted defeat… Only to savor the taste! This is the war I wage within A coffin where my breath has been I’ve missed those I should’ve held close And left the ones who stitched to my side Kissed you moments too late Laid dead flowers on your grave Hung myself from the swinging noose And prayed it would break! Tasted defeat… Only to savor the taste! I’VE BLED TOO MANY TIMES! I’VE FEARED TOO MUCH! WASTED THE CHANCES! RUINED IT ALL! TASTED DEFEAT! — ONLY TO SAVOR THE TASTE! Overstayed my welcome But I’m always leaving too soon A ghost in my own skin A fire that burns but consumes nothing I’ve missed those I shouldn’t have missed I’ve left the ones who never let go Kissed you moments too late Laid dead flowers on your pretty grave Hung myself from the swinging noose Tasted defeat… Only to savor the taste… DEFEATED I… SAVOR… THE… TASTE!!!
