Canon

The pain you promised me

You'd take away

Honestly you faked it

Wound me up

For nothing

The shame won't quiet me

This weight won't die in me

I will take the blame

Smoke it in the palm of my hand

Like it's nothin'

Nothin' at all

I will take the blame

Oh that's not the prize I had my eyes on

Not a work of art, not a canon

Oh we said our goodbyes

Petrified the tears huh

Just a cross we carved

Not a canon

Sorry you fell for me

Now unchain your melody

Make it sound free

Or something

And I will take the blame

Oh that's not the prize I had my eyes on

Not a work of art, not a canon

But we said our goodbyes

Petrified the tears huh

Just a cross we carved

Not a canon

The weight of love

Never moved me

Closer to you

And the echoes of

Images stuck

They died with you

Now the nightmare's done

Now the strings hum

Like they used to

And the ache of love

Burned to dust

Ooh
