Fake attractions close my eyes
Though I build these walls around me
I think I love to tell these lies

When you bleed like I do
You'll understand
What am I supposed to feel?
When I hold my heart in my left hand

I used to choose drinking,
Now I choose nothing
This junk just seeps in my mind
When I tear down all these eyes guarding me
With judgement
I smash my face to pieces

I never sleep anymore
And the words are always the same
Now all I have is a silly little blame
Turn my anger into poetry
Well your pretty little face
Just makes me heart thump
Although the songs are never finished without a trace,
I just feel that lump
Inside my throat
Hurt like hell

I can feel the wind but I know it's not there
I can spy their faces from a mile away
And people think I don't care

How can a person with no soul to trade
For one messed up adolescent phase
Personally give up the chosen words

I don't think that you'll ever know
What it's like to see your sneer in the crowd
When you act like i'm not there
But you know that I am

When you bleed like me
Maybe then you will see
I'm not as strong as I used to be
When you bleed like me.

The sun's like salt in these wounds
That will never ever heal
People hear me talking to myself
And they just assume
That I'm crazy, or that the words I speak aren't real

Well I know that they are
And maybe they will see
When you bleed like me
One day for eternity
You'll understand
The stitches that heals my scars
Just get pulled apart
By the quaking laughter
In the crowd's eyes
That were once yours
And mine.

"I think I love to tell these lies " Possibly the best thing you've ever written. Amazing. zx x x
