when you keep everything in

and don't allow anything out

eventually

you're going to have to face

the overflow

and if you keep bottling things

inside

you're going to release

more pain

than what you've stored

crash around me;

like the bombs that are exploding,

like the problems that are growing,

like the pain that is sowing,

like the blood that is flowing,

like the frowns that are showing,

like the sun is glowing,

like the poor are groaning,

like the fallen ones are moaning,

like these tears are doing;

never seeming to fall

or evaporate.

hold me close

don't let go

not that i'm letting

my fear show

i just don't want

to lose you tonight

tell me you'll stay

and sing lullabies

let the music

flow through our ears

make the shadows

disappear

as long as we have

you and i

i'll control these fears

and have nothing to hide.

the sky is violet behind you

and it really makes you stand out

during this beautiful, starry night.

i'll slit my wrists

and it'll hurt

but i'll welcome the pain

as long as it hurts more than i feel

because they say the only real way

to get rid of pain is to add more;

new distracts old.
