When my heart breaks
yours is whole

When your upset
I am the one you blow at

Everyone sees you good side
I see a monster at home

So does it mater
how I feel???
The sleepless nights
the silent screams
The chaos in my mind

To me it's normal
To you it's devastating
and you try to relate

But you don't know
how it feels to hate myself
despite being successful

You don't know
that I cover my scars with long sleeves
and a warm smile

you don't know
that I lost interest in activities I enjoyed
because I didn't want to explain the scars or cuts

you don't know
how everyday I love myself
only to find every wrong at night

you don't know
what prision I constructed
so please

don't tell me you understand
or that it will be ok
because right now it wont
They once were small in numbers
Now they rise more and more

Simple like you and me
Deadly alone

They blend in so easily
Invisible at first glance

Shadows are where they lay
Hiding the blood on their fangs
When you read this
my body may still breath

When you read this
my body may be gone

When you read this
may be the next day

When you read this
maybe centries later

When you read this
hopefully the 1's and 0's stay

When you read this
the cite may be gone

When you read this
Time will have moved

so when you read this
maybe you'll be better then me
In stories I find love
In stories I have life
In stories I have drive
In stories I can fly


In stories I can experience
The pain from a cut on the arm
In stories I can experience
The final breath leave my body
In stories I can experience
What a different life would be

Only in stories do I esapce
Only in stories do I die
Only in stories...
And nothing more...
Will it ever stop?
The sirens scream
The lights flash
And I think of you

A story I believed
A life I was wrapped up in
Gone over night

Too soon I fell
Too soon I trusted
Just to be left alone

Will it ever stop
Thinking of another
As the trucks go by
We were kids then
simple minded
but had it all planned out

You gave me dimonds
I gave you my heart
You promise me the world

The window shattered
the broken shards cutting me
as I tried to pick them up

The scars made it easy
to hold the shards
as I made the pieces into weapons

Maybe now you'll understand
that your simple pleasure
was more then just a wolf in sheep clothing

Time ticks by
you life hanging in the balance
And a single figure over your grave
