Daggers of blood that tear at my skin
I can feel this torture bubbling from within
These tears that are worthless that flow through my veins
Trying to be rid, but only causing more pain
I can never detach, I have to hold on
Always to my friends, they are so strong
But one day they all just pushed me away
With little word to the wind that day
Some think I'm losing, I'm failing inside
When thoughts spill out that used to reside
In my mind so stable, so unbreakable
I didn't know this would happen yet it was so predictable
And maybe you don't know this, but inside I bleed
I cry, I scar, I hurt, and I fall on my knees
I may look strong but inside I'm rotten
My core isn't burning; I'm down at the bottom
Yet some think I'm perfect and perfectly okay
That pretending is only a game I like to play
But these fools can all pretend they don't know
Even I don't know how far I have left to go
This pain that rips at me, that tears me down
Yet I am never allowed to wear a frown
No, I'm trapped inside my own play
Trying to get out, trying to find a way
But I built the set and I chose the cast
And I killed the future and I blurred the past
So undoubtedly I can only blame me
For I took away the vision I can not see
So I'm the reason I bleed and I killed myself
A long time ago when I fell from the shelf
So I will keep on bleeding and never winning
While the world around me continues spinning
I am the reason for my downfall
Once so rounded, now I have nothing at all
