This Wretchedness

Every scar you burn in me
Left me broken
Choking
On the smoke from my burning home
Alone
Blackened and bruised
And I still run to you

My punishment
My suffering
This is the cage that I built around me
Unhappiness
This misery
This is the life that I feel within me
The wretched
This wretchedness

Codependency
And I look to you
Can't find the help in me
Is this what I choose?
You took my family
Ripped away my sanity
You killed reality
And took the best of me

My punishment
My suffering
This is the cage that I built around me
Unhappiness
This misery
This is the life that I feel within me
The wretched
This wretchedness

Despite the shadows
That block the sky
I still see the light

Every scar you burn in me
Left me broken
Choking

My punishment
My suffering
This is the cage that I built around me
Unhappiness
This misery
This is the life that I feel within me
The wretched
This wretchedness
