Fine

Hands covered in blood

Nobody asks if I'm fine

Fingertips covered in mud

The blood isn't mine

-

Bruises tattooed on my knuckles

If you want me, show me a sign

Tie me down with vine

I wish the blood was mine

-

Cuts lined up in a line

If I die would you make me a shrine?

Would your sun continue to shine?

As you work on the melody I assign

-

The melody of my heart

Struck down by many a dart

The melody of my breath

As I continually swim towards death

-

You ignored the blood and cuts

Cause you never had the guts

To ask who bared this gore

Or to sew the hole you tore

-

You assumed the blood was mine

You assumed that I was fine

Because when our hearts entwine

The stars always align

-

Looks like you were wrong

Why'd I play along

When you never picked up on the signs

Tell me now, do you think I'm fine?
