Drip. Drip. Drip.
Of bloodstained wrists
And the tattered remains
Of a pretty face
Cuts and bruises
Now in its place
Sunken eyes
Black and blue
Bitter lies
And the horrible truth
Drip. Drip. Drip.
Of red and tears
Shattered heart
Once alive and whole
Now an empty shell
With a gaping hole
Love once beautiful
Love now lost
Her trust she gave
Her trust was tossed
Drip. Drip. Drip.
Her tears they fall
She runs and runs
She tries to stand tall
Her strength is fading
She's becoming weak
In this dangerous game
Of hide and seek
This horrid game she never wins
So in the corner she tears her skin
Drip. Drip. Drip.
Blood in the sink
Tears mixed with red
She wishes she was dead
No one left
To help her out
No one to hear
Her scream and shout
Daddy ran and mummy's dead
Her pale hands covered in red
Drip. Drip. Drip.
Her only escape
From a cruel world
Full of hate
Death is her only wish
But all she gets is a bitter kiss
His angry hits
Her fearful tears
She cries and shouts
Yet no one hears
Drip. Drip. Drip.
Cuts on pale skin
Her only control
Of the continuous pain
Razor in the sink
She did it again
Beautiful and broken
Words never spoken
She dreamed of a perfect life
But then she was woken
Drip. Drip. Drip.
Oh, happy tears
The feel of freedom
After all those years
Red and blue
The colours of safety
Men in uniform
A friend with a phone
She is free
No longer alone
Drip. Drip. Drip.
Crimson dreams
Of blood and madness
Of memories
His broken love
His painful kiss
This killing pain
His violent lips
Toss and turn
Wide awake
Drip. Drip. Drip.
Empty bottles in a pile
The liquid that cures
If only for a while
Her memories they echo
So she drinks another
She turned to alcohol
To cloud her pain
She turned to alcohol
To keep her sane
Drip. Drip. Drip.
And hospital beeps
Too many bottles
Too many weeks
Barely breathing
Barely existing
Still alive
No longer living
Hard to survive
No longer trying
Drip. Drip. Drip.
She's had enough.
She can't take it.
She's given up.
Pretty bottles
And pretty pills
Caress her mind
As the darkness fills
There she lays
A still body
Drip. Drip. Drip.
They all cry
Draped in black
Asking why
Pain like a knife
Why did she leave?
She had a rough life,
But it ended so wrong.
This beautiful girl
Who couldn't stay strong.
