Your Cut Lip

Seeping warm blood, drips from your gentle mouth
Sharpened nails clenched in your hands
Cut the skin once again, this pain has been felt before
Its getting old now, its been done too many times

But you just cant get away from your sweet torture
Hurting yourself is the only way to understand
To be understood, punishment for everyones crimes
Except yours

You cry again, in that corner, feeling theres no way out
Screaming inside yourself, your mind entwines
With bitter memories you think you created
You reach for that broken bottle again
Slicing the soft skin again, the old scars become new

The blood from your lips joins with bitter tears
To create a deep, crazed emptyness
Feeling useless, unable to sleep away the pain
I tell you to stop
Stop

Look at you, your beautiful
Your graceful steps please my eyes
And your every dark shadow makes me cry
The pain you cause for yourself echoes back to me
Your destroying yourself
And for what?

Did you forget, the times we've had together?
The times ive saved you, the times we've laughed
Im still here, you think im gone
Just because it wasnt right with lust
Doesnt mean it wasnt right with love
Im still here, where i always am

Come back to me now, i want to show you
Show you something no one has ever seen
My pain, why i hurt myself before
Why i ached and felt useless
Why i reached for that
broken bottle
to slice my soft skin...
