heart on a hacksaw

By edenscancer


If my words could touch you, the way my heart needs you right now
If the emptiness in my eyes could come and swallow me up
I would let it all go away
The time slips as there isn't long left to this now, the time ticks slowly
I just stare at the the wall
I feel the hate when you stare at me, yeah these words don't mean much do they?
just two inmates fighting over scraps before the rats come
two dying birds flying higher to be the first to die in the sun
I feel the heat and it's burning me, yeah these words, they dont mean much do they?
you thought I was a different person and you can't believe the words I say
You've become desensitised to all the things about me you used to take

take my love I don't need it anymore, it belongs to you
I'm completley for you, And i was made for this with you
so however it ends, I just want it to end with you

If my tears could touch you to you make the lonliness go away
If the sentient sadness thats become real in me could kill me
I would let it all go away
The heart walks alone even side by side, what cruel game is this?
to know salvation is a kiss away but not be able to reach it
I feel it like a heart on a hacksaw, bleeding while pieces find the ground
but you wont bury them will you?

I took you away from the place you knew
and i will never regret it more
than when i see the hate in your eyes.
