Scratches On My Gravestone

| Bleeding Coffin |

My heart is in a coffin

A box too small and too tight

The walls close in and squeeze until

It stops

A crushed mess leaks through the bottom

Bleeds out onto the ground

I need relief

Your chest still somehow tries to beat

I'm stuck

Your breath won't leave your lungs

It's stuck

Your lungs, your chest, your heart, your breath

They're stuck, they're stuck, they're stuck, they're stuck!

I can't control this feeling of unrest

Be grateful

Be grateful!

At least you're not dying

You've got nothing to want

No reason for crying

Oh my stomach is full

But it's turning and turning

From the poison that had

My heart burning and burning

Who cares if they feed us?

We're all gonna die

You can't beat us no matter how hard you try

The heart in my coffin is just for insurance

Don't need reassurance

I've spent too much time to care...

I want to rip my heart out-

But, you can't!

Your heart is in a coffin

Haunting me with nightmares of when I was-

What?

I've forgotten...

My chest aches with ghost pains

Left behind by a dead heart

From far away

I hate this!

Crazy insanity

It's left you like this

Rest in peace-

While I'm in pieces

Feel your heart start up again

Just for you

Then stutter, shudder, stop...

Sink below in a pool of blood

You can't feel how cold it is

How dark, how deep, how mean it is

The false door under the coffin

Lies open

Falling, falling, falling...

Misery has no end

Say a prayer

Make a wish

In this darkness

This land of no return

Seal it

With a kiss?

Send it home...

I read the blank message

Burned it

Threw it

Let the wind blow it

Far away

Come back

Come back to the gravestone

Pay your respects

Read the name I engraved

With my fingernails-

And my tears

I'm not crying anymore

Only haunted by ghost pains

Nothing more

Like discovering who the devil was

For the first time

I locked myself in a box

Forgetting how afraid I was of-

The dark

The walls are on fire

I'm the only one burning

I've buried my heart somewhere

There is no returning

Somewhere far away

Somewhere offshore

Just a small coffin

Nothing more
