Hydrogen Peroxide

I need to clean my skin

Wash away my sin

Nails scratch on the surface

Of where their lips have been

I'm running out of happy pills

My body is shaking in chills

The day I was born wasn't worth it

My hands, they lack the will

The tub is teeming with water

So shameless, committing self man slaughter

It doesn't change too much

This day was destiny, a meant to be goner

I've tired this before

I was afraid, guilty feelings in my core

My strength fading, letting life out of my clutch

Stepping into the cleansing stings my sores

Sword beside me, all I'm missing is a knight

Water rims my throat, this time I'll get it right

Hydrogen peroxide and I are empty and free

My scars won't be saved, not tonight

Oh it hurts

I was so sure

I've never cut this deep in me

Color surrounds me in a red blur

I've made a mess

I don't care to stress

It'll be a while before anyone comes in

My body drains of my blood, My body's worth less

I went down the street, it can't be sewn

Instead of across the road

I take my last sip of the cheap bottled gin

Heavens waiting, I've already sold my soul

Sleep takes me

Breathe gently

Fades away

Can't get the hydrogen peroxide, I'm too weak

I must live like this, I'm not too strong

Though it won't last long

My love looks at me in dismay

We know I can't fix the wrong

I put my razor down

Red water rims my nose, might as well drown

I don't want to stay

Don't wanna be earth bound

So let me fly away

Heaven awaits
