Lollipops & Landmines Part 2

I was sugar, I was sin,

Tied up in bows you wrapped me in.

You held me close with shattered vows,

But love’s just silence screaming now.

You called it passion, I called it pain,

A candy shell in acid rain.

I danced through glass in heels of red,

Now I haunt the halls inside your head.

You painted me pretty, then broke every frame,

Now all that remains is the echo of blame.

Lollipops and landmines—

Every kiss a countdown.

You said it was forever

While you wired up the ground.

I wore a heart that ticked for you

‘Til you ripped the fuse in two—

Now I’m the ghost that loves you still,

Bleeding candy in the ruin.

(Soft bridge: whispers and background ambience)

“I loved you past the warnings.

I stayed through every blast.”

You smiled through detonations

While I shattered like stained glass.

You buried me in lullabies,

Wrapped in guilt and sweet goodbyes.

You kissed my lips like loaded dice—

Roll the bones, but pay the price.

I float through every memory

Like perfume laced in tragedy.

Lollipops and landmines—

You danced away unscathed.

While I lay in the crater

Of the love we both betrayed.

I wore a heart that beat for you

Even as the flames grew—

Now all that’s left is sugar dust

And the wreckage we walked through.

(Outro – fading, cracked lullaby)

Tell the world I loved you…

Tell the dark I stayed…

Tell the next one not to follow

Where our candy corpses laid.
