The world keeps on going

You know it never stops

The pain keeps on coming

My life’s on the rocks

Please break me

So I don’t have to pick up their pieces

Shatter my illusions

So I won’t cut myself on shards

After they smash

Everything keeps rolling on

You realise nothing has changed

But my life just turned upside down- my resolve is gone

Was my dream only feigned?

Please hurt me

So this feeling will stop

Scream at me-

So this silence will cease

Burn me-

So the fire will die

Everyone thinks I’m strong

You know I just daren’t cry

What everyone wants to believe of me- is wrong

My role is now to try

Please break me

So I don’t have to pick up the pieces

Shatter my nightmares

So I can be alone at night

After they have gone

I try too hard to do too little

You know what I am like

What they took for acceptance was tears, shudders and spittle

My life just stopped. And started again without me.

Please break me

So I don’t have to pick up their pieces

(I’ve cut my hands to hell)

Shatter my illusions

So I won’t cut myself on shards

(Trying to put everything back together)

Shatter my illusions and my dreams

Before they are torn apart

(By me)

Break me

Before I smash

Either break me
So I don’t have to pick up anymore pieces
Or find another way
To guarantee-
They won’t ever be mine.
