He carries his earnings
Slung over his shoulder
In a bag of blackened coal

At night if you listen
He quite often talks
To a woman he used to know

"Kapi Kapi
Come back to me
Kapi Kapi
Come take me home
Kapi Kapi
Don't you neglect
To bury me in a bag
Of blackened coal"

I want to feel your calloused hands on my body
But I know
I know my mind is against it
I wish to feel your lips
Trailing tender kisses
Not to skip an inch
But I know
I know my inner self would fight it
Some days I even dream
Of the most beautiful intimate things
Yet I know
I know those are only just dreams
You, on the other hand
You make your dreams come true
Oh, yes, you certainly do
Trailing kisses through the soft skin
Of yet just another girl
Who fell to believe your harmonious sins

He literally ripped out your heart
You trusted him with all you had
He's the reason for the tears on your pillowcase
The reason for the medical pills you take

Now you feel so alone
You have lost your home
Don't know where to go
He's all you've ever known

He connected my heart to the ground
I've lost so much sleep
I stay up too late
Can't sleep past eight
I curl into a ball
And I remember it all
As I shake and I tremble
Just as I got my life assembled
He just had to go and tear me apart

As everyone is laughing
You lay down your head
All you can do is remember the things you can't forget
I wish this desk could take me, **** me in
So I'd never have to feel this pain again

It was sunny all day till I came home
I set down my bag and felt so alone
So I tore out my heart and gave the remaining to you
Well you tore them to pieces
Your love had a twist
You would keep loving me
As long as I didn't find out this
Thing that kind, maybe kinda, really bothered me
You broke my heart, we fell apart
It all happened so suddenly
The day I hid the sun
"Nobody puts Baby in a corner"

I've been up since 5:15
I met you at 6 AM
We took the car out in the dark
Just you and me and bleeding hearts

I've been crying since 7:15
We knew it'd come, but we could dream
I watched you walk away from me
And there was nothing we could do

But since 7:15
I've watched you walk away
All over again on replay

You fake a smile
Just so they won't see
You forge a laugh
So they don't hear the cries
In the dark
All those sleepless nights
Or the scars
Much more than just lines

Dead
We're all dead here
You forge a laugh
Just so they don't see
Dead
Dead am I
Oh the scars
Much more than just
Life
Comes and goes
Much more than just lines

Even demons can fly higher
Even swords leave softer wounds
She always thought her life was bitter
But she never saw it doomed

Round and round in circles
Round and round we go
Round and round in circles
Death by a suicide poem
