It's your fault I'm demoralized

about

This is a song about a shitty relationship and breakup, if it can be called that. Funny enough I had the riff for this and was trying to figure out lyrics for it, found that one of the first songs I wrote had a line that fit it, and expanded it all from there. Title is from the song I probably listened to a million times after the break up. A shame about Scary Kids Scary Kid's vocalist :(

Also this song was basically rewritten 3 times in the period of a month. I'm surprised I performed it this well with such a short amount of time.

lyrics

From the first shaky kiss
[to the] Last time he saw your eyes
Still can't decide
Ruined him for life
Now outside
Dreaming of fake red hair
Of the Facade, that made you feel sincere

Nothing but a lie
Set my heart on fire
He's just another pawn
For your desire
On the other side
Of the bridge
You burned us up (burned us out)

From the bedroom in your house
Couch in your living
Stop by sometime
Still don't believe
They're all insane
Dreaming of being me
Of the Face that made me(you) feel secure

From the bright white veil
To the first time we saw them kiss
Guess she can decide
Ruined me for years
Now outside
Living a bright new life
