Protector

You capture my fancy with your bottomless eyes
You press my trigger with your stories, your lies
You give me a reason, make me your protector
You control me, I'm not sure if that's wise

You consecrate me like I'm the chosen one
I need to save you before you come undone
Your problems and your pills, I think I've seen this before
You take, I take 'til we can't take anymore

You are my falling angel, one of the favored few
I see your beacon I come to rescue you
I seem balanced and steady as I throw you the line
But my love is a quicksand and it will drag you down too

Save yourself
Run and hide
Save yourself
Stay alive
Save yourself
Forget about me
I can't save you
You won't save me

Save yourself
Run and hide
Save yourself
Stay alive
Save yourself
Forget about me
I can't save you
You won't fucking save me
