Crimson

Here's the end of the end, my breaths are slowing down

I can't take it anymore, we've been trying, going around and around

But you still bring tears to my eyes, and I hate you more each day

There is only one way to make all of this pain go away

I'm fighting the urge to push, pull and scream

Why don't you just get the hell away from me

My heart is locked up in this tiny little box

Bars all around, with a giant key, that I started to hand to you

Until you broke me, trying to get in, you tried to force me

Love doesn't come with screams

It comes with whispers and gentle touches, kisses that give me rushes

The end of this battle is coming near, I can see the sky it's clear

Rising up to heaven as I make another cut

I wonder who will find me

Blood spilled on the carpet, dying it crimson

Your name carved on my skin a memory a sin

Remember these words you've said to me

You can do anything if you believe

This is what I chose to do, because of what you

Did

To

Me.
