Your silence is a dagger in my heart.
The blood drips through my soul,
filling up until I cant take anymore.
Emotional bleeding is what its come to.
Through all of this ive become fearless.
Abandon all fear and thought.
I brace myself for a landing from this
downward spiral.
Should i try to escape it, or let it take over?
A dark flame burns deep within me.
It consumes my body as I let it burn.
Before nothing is left you will put out the flame. I figured you would.
You want me to suffer instead of being free.
Deep in my heart I feel the pain I brought myself.
A mistake not yet corrected.
Dead, like nobody knows im here.
Maybe in my head im not alive to anybody
I scream out but nothing but silence is heard.
Its just a soft distant voice lost in
the crowd.
