A/N: Yo Mind of X here. Just like to say this was co-written with RockGuitarGoddess So show her some love!

The stains of your blood on my boots

Polluting the air that I breathe

Suffocating me and I can't understand

Why these words are turning to sand in my mouth

I'm fighting to remember the time before

Before that place that only the devil knows

And it shows in the patterns of your DNA

That's you've always been so wretched

Chained up and on the floor

Behind closed doors and sound proof walls

Choking on your own perfume in that room

He's already walking the airport halls

And there I found you, unconscious on the concrete

And it how it bites away what's left of my sanity

Blue lips and red eyes

My soul has been burned

Your body's been broken

And all the words that went unspoken

It's not fair that I'm the one who had to survive

I scream and cry

I won't get passed this

'til

I

Die

I lost my mind

I lost my mind—

I'm lost and I'm stumbling

Through

The

Night

I lost my mind

Crimson tears flow from your eyes

While your body lies broken and mangled

With your arms split at unnatural angles

And your hair matted down and tangled

Your face bruised by the blows of unseen foes

While the light of the moon makes the trails

Of sanguine gleam. I try to remember when your face

Wasn't so black and blue and your beauty shined through

But I can't, so I just listen to the wail of the ambulance

I'm in the back of the truck

Cursing our luck

My mind's in a haze as I sit back

Remember the glory days?

Soft words were exchanged

We went on to share our pain

And all those aspirations of fame

But down came the rain and with it the shame

And the entire damn blame. Fighting and arguing

And the screams of the shit you went through

This brought on my progression to depression

Coupled by all your bad decisions

You decided to give up and not fight it

And gave in to a sinister life

Punctuated by the stab of a knife

Forged from life filled with strife

You succumbed to this world's innate nature for hate

This is the truth we create

With every step we take

And as we walk this haunted road, it parts and you go

But you didn't know

And I didn't know

You'd fall, slipping in your own blood

I started sprinting the second you left

But I was still just too damn slow

Admittedly, it should have been me

Because when I saw the flash of your face

Time I did not waste

To trace you to this godforsaken death scene

I tried to take your place only to have you slap me in the face

And tell me to find heaven's grace

How, in the name of hell, do you expect me to do that?

The door slammed closed and I listened to the screams

Unseen from a horrible scene

Hidden eyes that make us cry

As I listen to you die

The dark road you took lead to today

And it's here I say goodbye to your soul

The story has been told

The tale is getting old

Goodbye

I scream and cry

I won't get passed this

'til

I

Die

I lost my mind

I lost my mind—

I'm lost and I'm stumbling

Through

The

Night

I lost my mind

(Not all the good girls go to heaven

Apparently no one deserves a break from life in hell

Couldn't you tell?

I was pleading with my eyes

And here I am, here I stand

But where exactly is here?

Behind a foggy glass

And you're just a ghost I can't see

Now you're just another memory I can't reach

And it seems that every word you preached

Has gone out the other ear

Everything I hate is what I live in this cross of worlds

And there I lay, wishing I could burn away the concrete

And it how it strips me of my sanity

Red lips and blue eyes

Luck be damned

Let our spirits be guillotined

And all the words that went unspoken

It's not fair that you couldn't die

I scream and cry

I won't get passed this

'til

I

Die

I lost my mind

I lost my mind—

I'm lost and I'm stumbling

Through

The

Night

I lost my mind)

(I scream and) cry

(I won't get passed this)

'til

I

Die

(I lost my) mind

(I lost my mind—

I'm lost and I'm stumbling)

Through

The

Night

I lost my mind
