Time and time
Time and time
Again and again

Time and time
Time and time
I'm just getting tired

Tugging
Always tugging
Holding me back

Holding me back from so much.

Happiness
I never knew
And never will

A burning
Raging
Fire

Deep within my soul

Let it lick my bones clean
And let the ashes blow away.

When I see the saints
Casting shadows of thorns

When I see smiles
Hiding cuts

When I see bravery
Huddled in the corner
Crying out its soul
And begging
Pleading
For help

I bite my tongue

Pierced the skin
Dug in deep
A festering wound
Seeping blood
A gruesome picture
They all look away
Can someone help
To ease the pain?

My patience,
My love,
My heart,
My soul,
My strength.
Can we have a moment of silence
For all that I've lost?

To say you did right
When the world is full of wrong
To say you made it even
That you were the hero all along

A liar your whole life
Manipulative as can be
How foolish you were to think
You could ever justify hurting me
