Screaming inside my mind
Crying inside my heart
Looking into the world - I’m blind
Hiding from everything in the dark

Tempt me with that shiny blade
So heavily in my hand
Draw the crimson blood I crave
Dripping from a heart so bland

Slash it open, my skin’s broken
Purge these thoughts, these fears
Steal my breath, it’s gone, I’m choking
Glaze my eyes with one last tear

Hold me close, my body’s bleak
My blanched face is freezing cold
My lips are blue, I can’t speak
There’s nothing to be told

Cradle my lifeless body in your arms
Drop a tear upon my blood-drawn lips
Cry for me, hold me, keep me warm
Stay until my last drop of life slips

Whisper your words of contrite
Into the deaf auricle of my ear
They’ll linger off your lips into the night
But in my death, I will not hear

Cry for me, for I am gone
Just a cold corpse at your knees
Weakened, lifeless, no longer brawn
I can not hear your screams

Let go of me, I am not here
I can not feel your hand’s grip
The last thing I recall is your tear
And the salt it lingered on my lips

Don’t take that blade away from me
You can’t change what I have done
Don’t turn it toward you, mix our blood
I’ve ended what has begun
