He was truly mysterious, full of wit and charm but no warmth.
The more I came to know him, the more of a stranger he became.
He had small kingdoms set up that all of as admired.
But when it came down to it, we were all just kids,
Spit out, dizzy by our childhoods,
Coming together to make a living
through drugs and scandal.

Inside him is a glow, undeniable potential.
I saw it as a good thing, even admirable.
But it was searing. Merciless.
I can see now how it destroyed,
Devoured and killed
Everything we knew.

How he looked at her rushes back now from the past.
The desperation building, slithering among us.
Her heart thinning away before me, his eyes red and itchy.
Oh...
Oh my god, it brings me to my knees
A naive soul that resembled only beauty to me
Slaughtered before me..
And oh, oh my god,
How could this have happened?


On the last night she lived, I pulled up to her window,
Looked up at her smiling face, stayed only for a moment.
We shared a cigarette and small talk.
I knew she had the gun,
And deep down I knew the use it'd serve her.
And still I drove away,
Fast to my own home

Then just the next morning, I returned to her house
Gasping for air, I drove through blurred tears.
Her room was cold, her death unreal,
Blood dried to brown and pooled on her bed,
Her belongings splattered in remnants of red
And oh, oh..
Oh my god..

Inside him is a glow, undeniable potential.
I saw it as a good thing, even admirable.
But it was searing and merciless.
I can see now how it destroyed,
Devoured and killed
Everything we knew.
