Don't Blame Me Lyrics

Write it down to expel it

Let it out and repel them

I was a cage

Of sorrow and rage

That was open then

I meant nothing of it

But a means of catharsis

Needed to feed the beast

For sweet release

To find me again

You couldn't heal me, so I had to heal myself

Screaming and writing were the only things that helped

I don't know if this is morally sound

But it's better than hushing the flames on the ground

Don't blame me

For all I

Had to do

You'd understand

I know you would

If it were you

Head like a small apartment

The tortured nature of the artist

Never gets to leave

And never gets relief

Without a release

And my heart felt deflated

From the words you consecrated

Darlin', can't you see

The weight you strapped to me

When you had to leave

You couldn't heal me so I had to heal myself

Screaming and writing were the only things that helped

I've seen where mercy can be found

It lies within the pages of a battered leatherbound

Don't blame me

For all I

Had to do

Don't see me

Through eyes tainted blue

You don't see me

Through eyes tainted blue

Don't you blame me

For all I had to do

Don't you whimper when faced with the truth

And don't blame me for what you put me through

Don't blame me for all I had to do
