Break and Bleed
Broken apart and wasting away in a world of broken mirrors
Lost in a crowd of smiling, happy faces
Wanting out, but can't seem to find my way
Stumbling and falling upon dead and dying souls
Reaching out a hand no one will ever take
----------------------------------------------------
Drowning in the waters of a lake of melted dreams
Flopping upon the sand like a fish left to die
A fly upon the wall of life
A pebble beneath society's shoe
Deafness roaring in my bleeding ears
Blackness blinding my farseeing eyes
-----------------------------------------------------
Can't seem to find my way back to your shore
The way out of these words
The way back to your door.
And even if I found it, it would be locked without a key
Or slammed within my face.
For no one ever wants or wanted me.
------------------------------------------------------
So I will sit here and cry and slowly fade away
Hoping someone will find me and offer sympathy
Instead of turning their backs and turning off the light
Leaving me in the darkest room with no windows from which to see the world
Laughing and sneering back at me
As I break
As I bleed
