Story Behind The Song
My ex became emotionally and verbally abusive, and self-serving after the birth of our twins, yet never seemed to care about the consequences of her actions. She moved out 2 days notice when our twins were about 1 year old with no apparent consciousness for how this was affecting her children. I wrote this song on her behalf.

Lyrics
What have I done? Conscience undone.
Vows are now broken, lies have been spoken, belittled me. Carry away the weight in my eyes; suffering me.
Pins in my heart. Now we break apart.
All falling silent except for the violence inside of me. Regrets of the past won't stay in the past; suffering me.
One hand in the fire, one foot out the door; break open me before blind I will become.
Drain my body. Shadows of time.
Everything broken, nothing unspoken; poisoning me. Screams getting louder, blackness it flowers; portrait of me.
One hand in the fire, one foot out the door; break open me before blind I will become.
