Into my skin and into my mind.
I know it would help,
But the fear is making me blind.

The tension and the pain is growing.
I want to keep it inside,
But the pain is almost showing.

Don't look at me, I'm almost crying.
If the blades were with me,
I'd be smiling, I'd be shining.

Please don't worry,
I'll be fine, you'll see.
Because soon, very soon,
The blades wont scare me.

The images of a dark mist,
Cloud your vision.
Nothing but shadows,
Of your own fiction.

The shadows dance,
In spirit to be freed.
But the glass of diamonds,
Keep it from being seen.

Look deeply, daily
Into your own demise.
Blinded by your desire,
Coated with your lies.

But don't try and fool us,
Don't act wise
We all know the secrets
Behind your crystal eyes.

My mind is,
Sad and sober.
My heart is,
Completely bruised over...

Only sadness,
Can feed my sadness.
Only pain,
Can sooth my pain...

Soon It'll all,
Be numb.
Soon you will,
Feel nothing.

Sleep in the world,
Of consciousness.
Until you awake again,
Sad and sober.

Dreams have become
Literally
Quite lyrically
Lately
Drifting away
On a bed of melodies
Listening to the songs
Of past memories
Bringing around
An air of clarity
And it seems
The subconscious bleeds
Figuratively
Over into reality
As I find myself awake
Singing songs I've never heard

Have you noticed the change in the sea?
Have you noticed the tide?
The change that brought your steps to thee,
The change that you try to hide.

Try if you must,
But it will always be true.
The change is out of the dust,
Into your heart, so blue.

It will change him,
It will change you.
The boy you once called friend,
And the girl you thought you knew.

With every tick you will find,
The deterioration of your mind.
You will think and wonder why,
But your thoughts will fail you.

With every step you will say,
How did my walk become this way?
Even when you go to play,
You cannot stop the different sway.

And when you look in the mirror you will find,
A stranger like you with your piece of mind.
With your eyes, your mouth,
But not your expression

The person you were is nothing but a memory.
Changed and lost,
In a different conformity.
