I hope you know I'm lying

When I whisper I'm okay

I'll tell everyone I'm fine

No need to worry anyone

But the pictures in my mind

Say the paim has just begun

Painted heavily

With reds, blacks and your name

Twisted images filled with shades of gray

 

You make me wonder what would become

If I were just to fade

Watch the light fade from my eyes

Slowly slip from my disguise

Parade into the afterlife

Press a little harder with this knife

 

Seeing your picture on my wall

Makes me question living at all

If nothing matters and I'm not worth it

As everyone agrees

I will give up on everything

As I fall upon my knees

Here's to the pain you left behind

And the way he persists

These words have scared them I guarentee

But they'll make me stronger

Like these cuts and the way I bleed

Just wait, wait and see

 

You may have killed me but

Only I can set me free
