piece me together, I'm falling apart.
wake me up, revive my heart.
I am torn, inside and out
flip this hourglass around
and let me escape
the cascading sand that crushes and smothers me

I want to breathe as you once more
Put a bandage on these scars, don't look away...it's who we are....
I can not seal the wound with this constant itch to scratch at it
My nails peal away my skin
Now you can see me as I am within

Run from the fire
Before it consumes you
My flesh is ablaze with betrayal
And I fear I have already burned you.

We dreamed we'd die together
And in our nightmares we scream in silence alone...
Crying tears that mix with rain
As our terrors give way to pain
Pain you can feel
So strong...
so real. it wakes me
yet this feeling, I can't shake.
