You’re the one who shut me out
A bleeding heart is a dead heart
Pierced by your words, pushing them deeper
Serrated to inflict the most pain
When did I go from your pride to your prey?
You got what you wanted.
Clutching my chest, this is the end.
A bleeding heart is a dead heart

That’s just reality
Good things come and go, but only you know when you’re truly happy
Sorrow is hard to sift through, like a foot race through a pool of water.
But once you find the ladder, it’s onwards from there.
Then you dive back in all over and start again.
Pushing onward towards your only way out, you know it’s what you want
Make the final stretch, there’s only one thing in your way
Find your life ladder and climb your way out

You’ve got nothing to say
Is this what it’s come to?
Sit in silence staring into the darkness
Ask yourself how this happened, who made it this way?
Pillows as wet as the ocean sail my head into endless thoughts
Battling onward before my ship sinks, I won’t let this happen
Bail me out, bail me out
The end is near, sails ahead.
Let the wind direct me to a new path
Direct me to the better

Left alone in the dark
A restless mind awaits the physical distress to come
Thinking, wondering, worrying.
What makes me this way?
I want to join you, I want to be normal
I’m sick of trying, it’s been gone for far too long
It’s too late to start now, just accept it
This is who I am, who I’ve become
I haven’t changed before, and won’t start now
Fatalism sets us up for disappointment

I’ll never cross that bridge again
Was this your intention?
Living the life of a *******, unable to function
Fighting the urge to pull the plug
Doctor my darling, what’s left for me?
Sew my heart shut, the hole only deepens
Numb my body, make me feel nothing
Trick me into smiling
