Every life I touch
I break.
I should be used to this
Heartache.
There’s no more ground
Left for me unfound.
I’ve traveled everywhere
And found myself nowhere.
Would you be better off without me?
So you don’t have to see
The pain
That I see?
I’ve opened too many veins,
Left blood red stains
On you.
And I wish I could take everything back
But I’m always too late.
The darkness holds a certain wonder
That I no longer fear
But embrace.
It’s the only time I release
Without hurting you
Because I’m hurting myself.
Don’t let me sleep again
Because in my dreams comes death.
I can’t escape these thoughts.
I want to feel nothing,
So I feel everything.
In my blinding rage
I’m fully awake,
But oblivious.
I want to hold onto you
Forever,
But you’re slipping away through
My mistakes.
Every life I touch
I break.
I should be used to this
Heartache.
There’s no more ground
Left for me unfound.
I’ve traveled everywhere
And found myself nowhere.
