Too long
I know the promises I made
To stop hurting
To stop bleeding
Physically and emotionally
I could stick to them for a while
I could hold back the need to cut
But it came back, just as I had foretold
Twice as hard it hit, and I just couldn’t resist
I had to see myself bleed again
I wanted to feel that comforting pain
The pain that told me what I wanted to hear
Although I’m not too sure what that is
So I bled again
I disappointed again
But it hurts no more than it does to resist
It hurts no more than pain itself
That horrible pain...
To stop hurting
To stop bleeding
Physically and emotionally
I could stick to them for a while
I could hold back the need to cut
But it came back, just as I had foretold
Twice as hard it hit, and I just couldn’t resist
I had to see myself bleed again
I wanted to feel that comforting pain
The pain that told me what I wanted to hear
Although I’m not too sure what that is
So I bled again
I disappointed again
But it hurts no more than it does to resist
It hurts no more than pain itself
That horrible pain...

My refuge
My hatred shimmers in the gloom
Created by myself, my safe cocoon
My reason to live
My reason to die
This darkness surrounding me
This soothing obscurity
This is what holds me
This is what keeps me
Never will I fear rejection
In my own world of pain
My sinister creation
An imagination of my brain
It feels so real, my refuge
The only place where I can truly be myself
If only it wasn’t made of sorrow
Maybe… maybe then I’d be okay.
Created by myself, my safe cocoon
My reason to live
My reason to die
This darkness surrounding me
This soothing obscurity
This is what holds me
This is what keeps me
Never will I fear rejection
In my own world of pain
My sinister creation
An imagination of my brain
It feels so real, my refuge
The only place where I can truly be myself
If only it wasn’t made of sorrow
Maybe… maybe then I’d be okay.

Fear
I hear a whisper
So soft and so frail
So silently muttered
So lost and so pale
It reaches my ears and my eyes weep a tear
For their small, hidden meaning is drenched with a fear
A fear for the life and the world, oh so real
The troubles and pain that we’ll all have to feel
The meaning remains when the whisper’s long gone
The fear I have gained was never so strong
So soft and so frail
So silently muttered
So lost and so pale
It reaches my ears and my eyes weep a tear
For their small, hidden meaning is drenched with a fear
A fear for the life and the world, oh so real
The troubles and pain that we’ll all have to feel
The meaning remains when the whisper’s long gone
The fear I have gained was never so strong

Deep down inside
Deep down inside
I know I can’t hide
Whenever I need
I still can’t be freed
The weight on my chest
Like it’s crushing my soul
I can’t beat the best
I can never be whole
My heart into pieces
They’re scattered, alone
I cannot beseech them
To let me atone
My lips slowly withered
My eyelids still closed
My limbs softly shivered
My inside exposed
Spread out on the floor
You read like a book
My soul, though it’s poor
Can retrieve what you took
I know I can’t hide
Whenever I need
I still can’t be freed
The weight on my chest
Like it’s crushing my soul
I can’t beat the best
I can never be whole
My heart into pieces
They’re scattered, alone
I cannot beseech them
To let me atone
My lips slowly withered
My eyelids still closed
My limbs softly shivered
My inside exposed
Spread out on the floor
You read like a book
My soul, though it’s poor
Can retrieve what you took

I changed
My head stuffed with hatred I refrain in my room
I cannot help but think about life and my doom
My life turned so grey
But I wanted to stay
The way I was when I was a child
My heart filled with pain I sing to the world
Of sadness and loneliness, unbearable hurt
My eyes turned so dull
While they once were so bright
While they once could clearly see the light
My body so rotten, so cold and deceased
The bugs cheer aloud when they start on their feast
My body is theirs for I cannot be saved
I don’t care
I did my share
I tried...
I cannot help but think about life and my doom

The end
My heart beats fast and strong
I hear it in my head
It will not beat for long
For I yearn to join the dead
My fingers trace the blade
I’m lying on the floor
My eyesight slowly fades
As I walk through the final door
The last thing I remember
Is the knife into my flesh
The feeling of this splendour
As I passed this final test
A smile upon my face
My eyes staring at the sky
My blood flows out of place
And I feel the end is nigh
I breathe one final time
As I prepare to meet my end
And I know that I’ll be fine
As I feel...
I hear it in my head
It will not beat for long
For I yearn to join the dead
My fingers trace the blade
I’m lying on the floor
My eyesight slowly fades
As I walk through the final door
The last thing I remember
Is the knife into my flesh
The feeling of this splendour
As I passed this final test
A smile upon my face
My eyes staring at the sky
My blood flows out of place
And I feel the end is nigh
I breathe one final time
As I prepare to meet my end
And I know that I’ll be fine
As I feel...

Shadows
Shadows in my heart
Creatures in the dark
I cannot see the things
To keep those two apart
Both slowly crawl unto me
They’re predators
I’m prey
I can see their dark intentions
Only wishing them to go away
But never will they leave me
To be the way I was
They’ll hunt me down forever
Until I shatter down like glass
My pieces spread across the floor
Will never make me whole
And then I’ll finally give
My heart, my body and soul
To the one who’s been waiting for me
For over a million years
And finally I cannot hold back ...

Tears
The tears I cry
Alone
In pain
They tumble down
Once again
They burn their way into the ground
Further down
Never found
But in my heart they still exist
Like the brightest light
In a night with mist
Where even screams cannot be heard
And faces hide their scorching hurt
Behind a mask of joy
Only to make sure
That they can cry alone
Again
Alone
In pain
They tumble down
Once again
They burn their way into the ground
Further down
Never found
But in my heart they still exist
Like the brightest light
In a night with mist
Where even screams cannot be heard
And faces hide their scorching hurt
Behind a mask of joy
Only to make sure
That they can cry alone
Again

Death’s salvation.
Death’s cold fingers on my hand
We’ll fly away, I’ll never land
He’ll lead me through this dark despair
A guiding light when no one’s there
He whispers love into my ear
I promise Him I’ll never fear
I’ll wait for Him until it’s time
If we meet once more, then I’ll be fine
His preaching leads me to my core
To where everything is dark and sore
With tears that I have never cried
Until I can no more see His light
This little spark, though, is still there
And I know that when I feel despair
There always will be one way out
When no one...
We’ll fly away, I’ll never land
He’ll lead me through this dark despair

If we meet once more, then I’ll be fine
