Stitch me up like a ragdoll
and throw me to one side
I've killed myself on caustic thoughts
Rage, my sweet cantharide
Raw on feeling - not perceiving
Watch me bleeding - disbelieving
Touch and go - my final course
Cry out loud - my voice is hoarse
Shed a tear for he who hates
and cast him out of sight
Watch him drown in his regret
for words he said in spite
Never resting - always testing
He was seething - now he's grieving
Picking up the broken shards
The love she held has now been scarred
Only atop the pillar of pain
does he witness her heart refrain...
Watch her turn about her heel
and throw love to the dust
His explanations, pleading, words
do not erase disgust
Stomach churning - sleepless yearning
Fortunes turning - pain is learning
Don't dare catch me, break my fall
It's self-inflicted after all
The sun rises to break the clouds
The mind's climate stays grey
He hopes to shine like Lucifer
and soothe the night to day
Cowardice - disrupting bliss
A far-off kiss, becomes a hiss
Can he step forth to make amends?
Or is this where the romance ends?
Only atop his pillar of pain
does he witness her heart refrain...
