I've been down, helpless, still

I come here once again

feelings lost

extinction of what used to be

dwelling keeps me

from standing on my own



selfless dissection of emotion

emotion I have left inside

dredge this wound

salt of tears, then I fade away

slips away and fades



raising eyes to see you

anger is all I feel,

missed your forgiveness

just a witness of my own demise

searching these pieces

they cut me, you laugh as I bleed

swallow contradiction

just a victim of all I have inside



this pain just deepens

I can never let go

feel it numbing me

exist around you

everything I know

I've held myself down to

held myself down

so that I will never fall

all of this I feel I pour out for you

salvation, in the release of all that I feel
