lies
you seem to think
that i'll believe you
that an
"i love you"
and a promise
that i'm not alone
and that
it will get better
will make it all
okay.
i don't believe
your empty words
but if i try
i can
let your lies
decieve me.
i can let them
twist my mind
into a lie
a happy lie.
i can put your lies
in a bag
hook them up to my veins
let deception
flow through me
sweet morphine
of lies.

if you met me,
you might say
i'd lost my mind
you'd be right
but not in the way
one would think
i've got a grip
on the part of my mind
that i need to live
but not to survive.

floating
upon mint green
sea foam
under lilac
skies
speckled with
baby blue
clouds
rocking
back and forth
as the wind sings
a peaceful melody
i can feel once more
and
i'm not afraid to
why would i ever
want to awake?
to leave this
pastel wonderland
for the world of pain
of blood
and tears
...
maybe this time
i won't
maybe i'll stay
i'll lock myself away
in bliss
in slumber
*forever

i wished i was dead
i got my wish
i died
now, I want nothing more
than to feel
than to live

You're falling apart
but you still take the time
to make sure
I'm ok.

You're bleeding to death
but you still take the time
to bandage
my cuts.
  
You're dangling off the edge
but you still take the time
to talk me down
when I start step over.

You're falling apart
but you still take the time
to make sure
I'm ok.

I attacked my wrists
but the scars will fade away.
I wrecked my mind
and the damage will stay.

This temporary skin
will heal
But a soul is permanent
and the damage is real.
