Without a sound you break down so easily
Beneath my fingers I can feel you crumble
It's almost sad to see you break apart
But there's always that memory that will not relent

Constant stinging, burning beneath the flesh
Withering away to a less benevolent rest
Please don't let these nightmares remain
Keeping me away with my dreams of emptiness

Strings of pain are forgotten in the sea of sympathy
For the hands of your remorse are still lingering

Giving it away, everything that you have to give
And somehow it is never enough
Giving it everything that you have to give
Somehow it is never enough for anything

Still you try again but it won't matter anyway
Wallowing in a self destructive emotional daze

Maybe now I will understand
It's useless to try and change who you are
This time you will never belong
So maybe one day you will become
Just what it is that you believe in

Alleviation in the single sight of this irritability
A decrepit wish-no resolution to a never ending story
So maybe one day you will become what it is
That you could never believe in

Constant tension pulling spinning webs of anguish
Reassuring torture with the consent of a bloodied kiss
In shadows remaining damned in inextinguishable flames
Though you swear things have changed
You still, still taste the same

Tangled in the strings of your pain

Still not quite sure why you do this to yourself another day
To see yourself in a different more miserable way
In a reflection you see with a shudder of fear
Feeling so numb but somehow you manage a tear

You pick at the scabs with a cry but smile
You'll know when it will bleed
Now you're here for me but when I'm inside
Here alone I grieve

You hide your face deep in the respectable dark
And show me just how many ways you can rip me apart

I regretfully reach for you, with a smile you know
A chuckle is heard, you fall backwards and let yourself go

There is so much hidden importance between this
But still you fall away just to see me hurt and in pain I twist
You show me how much you hate to be so alone
But you turn your back when I offer you a home

Unwilling to hang on so tightly anymore
But surrender your life, mindless drizzle, it's just a bore

But still there's a heart for us…?

I wish to speak of true love but sadly this is all there is left
I bow my head and realize nothing is true but death
