Enabler
Against my will and under false pretense
Pried your way back into my life
Beaten down, abandoned, wrong turn of events
A case for going under the knife
I sheltered your eyes, distracted vice instead
Keeper of the devil’s daughter
Took you under, should’ve held your head
Filled your lungs with holy water
Perpetual victim
Your welcome wore out before the bottom dropped
I held my tongue through your coke phase
Held my breath while the room blazed
And in the charred remains of what once was
I found a reason, a reason to hold out for more
Your carnal bargain struck through fiending tears
Once last dance ‘til my cue
An intervention for my own lost years
Watch this enabler walk on you
Albatross, fly now
Find your surrogate soulmate, codependent muse
I held my tongue through your drunk phase
Held your candle through AA
And in the charred remains of what once was
Found a reason, a reason to hold out for more
I held my tongue through your kink phase
Held the line at fiancés
And on this sullied stage you called our bed
I’m holding court now, while you’re left holding your own
