Inside out,
unwrap my majestic mind.
Grasp my heart,
be gentle, be kind.

Don't rip it,
from my already weak flesh.
Or **** it,
with your poisonous breath.

I walked for one thousand years,
and I have cried one thousand tears.
But not for you to tear me down,
and leave me dead, lying on the ground.

Outside in,
feel the touch of my soft skin.
Legs are weak,
I'm slowly caving in.

Don't betray me,
after I let you touch my heart.
If you shut me down,
I do not think I can restart.

I walked for one thousand years,
and I have cried one thousand tears.
But not for you to tear me down,
and leave me dead, lying on the ground.

Just forget me here,
just leave me alone.
Just allow me to,
sink into the ground.

Just forget me,
just let me run away.
I don't need your love,
to make it through the day.

All I need,
is my heart.
