In Your Crosshairs
Betrayal's Melody: Unraveling the Crosshairs of Deceit
Lyrics
Even though the words were spoken in whispers
Whispers conveyed the words, though spoken quietly.
They were loud and they were clear
The spoken words were both emphatic and easily understood.
From the kitchen steps, through the ceiling vents
Words traveled from the kitchen steps, through vents in the ceiling.
So careless and cavalier
The delivery of words seemed thoughtless and indifferent.
I swear to god I never meant for this
Expressing unintentional actions and regret.
But I'm crippled with resentment
Feeling deeply resentful and constrained.
And if I could speak I would ask one thing
If able to speak, a single question would be posed.
You wouldn't bother answering
An expectation of no response to the inquiry.
How could you do this to me?
An expression of betrayal and hurt, questioning the actions.
I'll hide behind nightmares and blank stares
Choosing to conceal pain behind nightmares and vacant expressions.
While you justify your treason
Justifying a betrayal, hiding behind reasons.
You had me in your crosshairs
Being targeted and betrayed.
Don't act surprised to see the knife in your spine
Expecting retaliation, symbolized by a knife in the spine.
With your initials etched in the handle
Personalizing the retaliation with initials on the weapon.
I guess what comes around, comes around
Acknowledging the cycle of retribution.
I guess what goes around, comes around
Reinforcing the concept of karma.
I've been grasping onto pages
Clutching remnants from a destroyed past.
From the book that you burned ages ago
Referencing a book burned in the past.
Just a glimpse at the bigger picture
Questioning if anything significant remains.
What else could be left to show?
Pondering the completeness of the situation.
How could you do this to me?
Reiteration of the pain from betrayal.
I'll hide behind nightmares and blank stares
Continuing to hide emotions behind a facade.
While you justify your treason
Justifying betrayal while maintaining a facade.
From the driver seat of a Cherokee, I can finally see
Gaining clarity from a different perspective (driver seat of a Cherokee).
From the kitchen steps, through the ceiling vents
Revisiting the origin of the words, seeking clarity.
Clarity, clarity
Emphasizing the quest for understanding and insight.
I'll hide behind nightmares and blank stares
Repeating the choice to hide behind a facade amidst pain.
While you justify your treason
Continuing to justify betrayal, maintaining the facade.
You had me in your crosshairs
Reiterating being targeted and betrayed.
