The crowd around me’s thick with all the faces I’ve created They’re all bleary eyed, but I still try To find one that isn’t jaded I tell myself it’s all my fault, though I know that isn’t true I still blame myself for all the hell That you have put me through Your fire burned my soul and left it’s ashes in my core Icy veins just can’t sustain My life source anymore I don’t want to hide behind the darkness of the truth It wasn’t me; you’re the thief That stole away my youth So I closed my eyes to the monsters you left behind Now I’m stuck asleep, unaware of my reality I won’t awake. I died that day You can’t seem to see, it was you that murdered me And I just can’t--understand You shouldn’t be allowed to throw away your child You shot those words like bullets, now all I see is smoke Reload the gun, I turn to run As it seeps from your throat I walked in on crutches; did you ever let that soak in? I know you knew, so how could you Break someone already broken? I hope your eyes turn white from all that you refuse to see All you see is you, so it must be true You’re the queen of everything Just peel away the flesh and blood you cursed upon my bones Since it’s yours to take, you won’t hesitate To sit upon your throne So I closed my eyes to the monsters you left behind Now I’m stuck asleep, unaware of my reality I won’t awake. I died that day You can’t seem to see, it was you that murdered me And I just can’t--understand You shouldn’t be allowed to throw away your child I can’t seem to wake up. Just want you to make up For what you said to me, I need an apology. What hurts me the most is I just won’t let go Of the kind woman who liked to hold my hand *Penalize, traumatize Recognize all the lies Crying, I’m dying From all of your lying Lost at sea, I can’t breathe What have you done to me? Drowning, I’m drowning, I’m drowning* I won’t awake. I died that day You can’t seem to see, it was you that murdered me And I just can’t--understand You shouldn’t be allowed to throw away your child
