"Drip"

Drip, drip, drip...
The sound's addicting.
Feel the pain? You wanna scream?
Nothing's left. You're alone.
Alone to hurt...
Alone to die.

Drip, drip, drip...
The tears don't come
as easily as they used to
letting it all build insurmountably.
You're about to burst,
you need a release.
You grab the blade--
press down and drag.

Drip, drip, drip...
No one knows, no one sees
the cuts that heal scarlessly.
You wanna run, wanna hide,
wanna scream, wanna cry.
You want someone to see
you're not invisible.

Drip, drip, drip...
It's too much for you to handle.
You want it all to go away.
Reach out, grasp your salvation.
Set it down and pull.
It's all fading now, all numb.
Everything is gone.

Drip, drip, drip...
