Band-aid

101 12 7
                                    

I'm screaming out loud
But nobody hears
It's like my voice is quite
While I shed silent tears

Tripping at dawn
Tripping in the dark
Tripping in the light
Everyone's blind to the battle I fight

Tripping over love
Tripping over myself
Tripping over everything
No one hears when I cry for help

Falling in a nightmare
Falling down over
Falling silent to the hound
It's a different battleground

But what's worse?
Killing the two most beautiful people
That I loved
Or the fact I'll be in the next hearse

But that's okay,
I scream out and cry
But I have my debts to pay
And I'm tired of the lies

Done with depression
Done with anxiety
Done with the obsession
Of thinking I belong in reality

Back to back
Blood to blood
I bare my skin
And add up my sins

The blood falls to the floor
As I lean against the door
Afraid of the mirror
And afraid of my dreams

But I cover it up with a band-aid
And pull down my sleeves
Because I'm in a terrible dream
And everything is as it seems
