I sipped a cup of coffee last night
As the smoke from my cigarette filled my eyes
I draw words from my soul’s darkest pit
As the blood leaked from my pen, my heart cries
I have written of untrue and painful love’s existence
Instead of life’s beauty I wrote the cruelty of it
As the blood leaked from my pen, my heart cries
I draw words from my soul’s darkest pit
My pen stained the parchment with stories
Of the life that I have learned to despise
I draw words from my soul’s darkest pit
As the blood leaked from my pen, my heart cries
My paper is now drenched in tears
For only pretentious forms can my mind emit
As the blood leaked from my pen, my heart cries
I draw words from my soul’s darkest pit
Life’s complication has drawn out sanity
Now my whole self is in disguise
I draw words from my soul’s darkest pit
As the blood leaked from my pen, my heart cries
I laid down my weakened pen and stood up
There is nothing here that my mind can knit
As the blood leaked from my pen, my heart cries
I draw words from my soul’s darkest pit
For my garden of words has gone bleak
No more can I use this power so wise
I draw words from my soul’s darkest pit
As the blood leaked from my pen, my heart cries
I pray bitterness would tire, truth to appear
Play the words in my head now not in a fit
As the blood leaked from my pen, my heart cries
I draw words from my soul’s darkest pit
Now I walk a path through which I search
More courage for my hand to write no more lies
I draw words from my soul’s darkest pit
As the blood leaked from my pen, my heart cries
