Crush from Crush by Jack The Elbow

Lyrics:

Consider this your come to Jesus moment
Take it all to heart cause you’re only getting one
More opportunity to make amends
And then you will be cast into the fire and consumed

All your grievances are piling up upon our shoulders
And it makes me wonder if you ever cared at all
Thinking you can play us all for fools and walk away unscathed

Well let me give you some advice, a word to the wise, I will not say it twice
If you think that I won’t crush both your little grapes to wine
You’ve got a rude awakening coming down the line

I can’t believe I watched the one I called my friend bastardize themselves in such a manner
You’re hardly recognizable from who you used to be
Every time I try to reconcile, it feels as though you’ve spit into my eyes
Now the camel’s back is broken and my patience has demised

Why oh why, tell me why it has to end this way
But since you’ve chosen this path for yourself, there’s nothing more to say

So let me give you some advice, a word to the wise, I will not say it twice
If you think that I won’t crush both you’re little grapes to wine
You’ve got a rude awakening coming down the line

So so long, you won’t be missed
Our time has reached its end
And I know you probably never thought this day would come
But you have turned your back on me for the very last time

Never should have come to this
But there’s no way to justify the way you’ve overstepped your boundaries again
Distraught and burdened once more
With the overwhelming task of picking up my shattered psyche off the floor

What a sight to see to look down and see your body lying on the ground
What you stole from me I’ll steal back right out of your cold and mangled hands

I’m more adrenalized than I have ever been before
I can hardly accept this new reality that’s bearing down on me
But you were warned over and over again
And the consequences crushed you down, dealt to you the fate that you deserved

What a sight to see to look down and see your body lying on the ground
What you stole from me I’ll steal back right out of your cold and mangled hands

And I’ll never forgive you for this pain you’ve laid upon my soul
To the void I’ll scream one last time so I can make my peace and carry on

Rest in pain you fiend
Rest in peace my friend
All at once the world relieved
Cured forever more of your disease

Cause I’m not settling
The world is mine
I don’t need your approval
And I’m not questioning myself within your eyes
I will not compromise
I know where I belong

Now my piece has been said
You can call my love dead
Never made your amends
Now lie crushed in the end
