Breath of Blood
Can't get enough air
Puts a smile on anyway
Skin becomes more fair
With each breath taken away
Don't look too close
You'll see through the cracks
Sadness overdose
Hidden with a mask
Tears held in
Barely holding on
Can't let the demons win
Must survive another dawn
Can't breathe
Getting faint
Too much
Too much
Can't breathe
Can't breathe
Takes the knife
Slices the skin
Maybe now the air can get in
Smiles
A real smile
Covered in blood
A last grin of relief
Maybe now I can breathe
I open my skin so I can breathe
