kassandra

i can feel the flames
before i ever smell smoke
see the wreckage
before i hear the collision
taste the blood
before the knife breaks skin

everything has its cost; even you

i know where this is headed
before you can even exhale
but you’d never believe me
if i forced it between your teeth
if i screamed it cliffside
if i wrote it in your palm

everything has its cost; didn’t they warn you?

it doesn’t take divination
to know we’re going down
i saw it from the start
and i let you kiss me anyways
now i’m pulling out my hair
now i’m talking to the winds

everything has it cost; everything has its end
