I never thought I'd lay my hands
Upon you in such violence
Across your face five bright red bands
Eyes locked in chilling silence
A tear betrays your angry face
You're scared to death, I know it
I guess this is my fall from grace
As now my shame would show it
Now as I apologize
You only hear me barely
I hope that you can recognize
I mean it so sincerely
I'll hate myself for years to come
My inner light shines dimly
I never thought that I'd succumb
To darkness deep within me
These demons claw from inside out
I can't face them alone
And darling if you leave me now
I fear their strength may grow
My seams they burst and to my knees
I fall and now I'm pleading
Help me fight fight these enemies
Don't leave me here just bleeding
