Can you hear the song you play?
Pulling on my heartstrings.
Everytime you slash your skin,
The salt in my eyes starts to sting.
And as you tear your flesh apart,
You are carving out my useless heart.
And every vein begins to pulse,
In sudden synchronised symphonies,
Discordant in my melodies,
I hear your screaming.
I walk along each day in a trance,
This wearied smile on full blaze,
But I see blood when I glance,
To you.
That song you play so happily,
Starts a rhythm in my mind,
So I dance till my song goes silent.
But I cannot shake this drumming beat,
Echoing inside of me,
Jolting every limb inside, tensing every muscle,
Without the gushing ribbons of red
I'd remain captive to the voice in my head
"You're stupid", "You're fat" it screams, pre-release
And with each slit, I'm repaired piece by piece.
You complete me, my dearest of dears
Take away my hopes, but simultaneously my fears
Every drop to the floor is a drop filled with pain
And with help from you, I can be happy again.
They try to separate us, you from me
And no matter how hard I try, they never see
They shower me in drugs, the men coated in white
But I'm not giving you up without a fight.
When we're apart, I quiver and shake
I can't get to sleep; I lie awake
So I'll keep you forever, an
