push this pen into my veins
till my thoughts become ink
exhaling what i think
this is my outlet
my way to speak

my mind suffers from insomnia
thoughts of manufactured happiness
self inflicted pain
dance to the beat of the drum through my brain
and as i stomp unwanted feelings
so far into the earth
that i swear the devil felt
every tear that never melt
down my contorted face

my hearts always been yours to take
but when you look into my eyes
you swore to see a ghost

so i'll disguise myself with this dagger
you've already pulled the trigger
now take all you can
take everything
cause im more vulnerable than i've ever been

i'll show you what it's like to hurt
cause fear is all i feel
the antidote sucked into a needle
shot straight to the vein
pick the scab
watch it bleed
forgetting how to heal

strip me of my safety
leave me out to dry
and as saltwater burns all open wounds
i'll dream of you my dear

will this downfall come in grace?
