Scarred forever by your mangled hands
I find a way to breathe
A vast wasteland rots in my soul
But a spared heart lies beneath

I am ripped of everything when I am without you
So how do I see your fists
Just before they connect with my jaw?
Did you take the veins in my wrists?

Like drowning in a casket full of tears
I fight to keep my head afloat
They nail me shut; locked in my eternal cell
On my stone, I remember what you wrote

What happened to the beauty we held?
Did you forget; for just a moment, perhaps?
You tore at the neck you used to love to kiss
And delusioned with loss of blood, I go into a mind lapse

This heart inside is failing
It can’t keep up with the blood that’s draining
It’s helping me die while quickening its pace
Like trying to flood a city when it’s not even raining

Like drowning in a casket full of tears
I fight to keep my head afloat
They nail me shut; locked in my eternal cell
And upon my death stone, I remember the words you wrote
