Rusty Chain

Are you afraid that mask you wear might betray
what you've so carefully kept hidden away?
The lipstick stains on your mirror say more than your lips ever could
The reflection in your eyes makes your direction understood

Its your command performance in your own spotlight
This is your grandest moment in this scene we write
And you play your part
And your part is pain
I drag you across my heart like an old and rusty chain

Why do I let myself be so consumed?
Why is my love for you an open wound?
Is your motive cracked and corroded?
Your method cuts like steel
Your toxins are all noted
They infect the way I feel

Are these my final words?
Is this my last breath?
Is this rocking motion our dance with death?
When the sedation starts I'll be right as rain
I'll drag you across my heart like an old and rusty chain

Do you take my misery as some kind of flattery?
should I try to hurt you?
Should I just desert you?
Maybe I deserve you

Our love is like a drug from which I can't abstain
You're pulling out the plug to wash it down the drain
Our bond won't break apart when every time it starts to strain
I drag you across my heart like an old and rusty chain
