The cuts… the sins… I’m standing over my shadow by the sink…
I’m gone, I feel so completely weightless… and I’m alright.
My breath catches as I walk down the hall, she asks if I’m alright and all I do is nod.
I’ve been through hell and I’m not back yet but I’m getting there soon.
I really hope to…
I really hope what you said meant something,
I really hope I get through to you.

I’m falling, I’m calling out but nobody hears my tone of voice.
You’re saying you’ll be there but you’re not here anymore, you’re gone.
And this empty white room, eats me through to the insignificant little core.
And that’s me, I’m not breathing, my heart isn’t beating anymore.

These words… this place… will I ever leave this room?
I’m shooting out every mention of what is happening to me but you don’t listen, do you?
My throat itches and clenches every time I speak, she asks how I’m doing, do you not see the bruises?
Maybe I’ll fall… maybe someday you’ll hear me hit the ground and the sound will reach,
But I really can’t give you what you want from me…
I really hope you hear me…
I really hope you get through to me.

I’m falling, I’m calling out but nobody hears my tone of voice.
You’re saying you’ll be there but you’re not here anymore, you’re gone.
And this empty white room, eats me through to the insignificant little core.
And that’s me, I’m not breathing, my heart isn’t beating anymore.

And the headaches are getting worse because they’re always there.
And I thought maybe this would help but the tears are in my chest and I bleed more and more,
And the demons swell inside myself
Do you feel the hell I’m talking about?
Do you feel it?

I’m falling, I’m calling out but nobody hears my tone of voice.
You’re saying you’ll be there but you’re not here anymore, you’re gone.
And this empty white room, eats me through to the insignificant little core.
And that’s me, I’m not breathing, my heart isn’t beating anymore.
