(not sure if it needs more work....i just wrote this)
I feel the vertigo in your eyes
I fall out of control
Holding onto your hand
A broken carnation
Crushed beneath the weight
Flawed and unexpected.
My agony is my demise
And I flirt with disaster
Dancing through the fire
I tempt the edge to break off
Into the emptiness of being alone again.
I don’t want that
So I fall.
I tried to be pretty and pink for you.
But im all red and im fast with the feircesome
Gutted reality and its smiling down at me
Call, then cast me out
Its alright. I knew it would happen
But then:
You say what they all say.
And I’m falling faster
And im aware of the pain
Awake during the operation.
Every cut, every ounce of pressure.
The scream remains inside.
And my blood boils and cools
Hard as stone and broken for ice
In life’s bitter lemonade
(But these things I feel. They are so fast to make me understand .That
I need this, I need it forever. And I’m getting too close again.)

"Broken carnation" has an interesting ring to it. "I tried to be pretty and pink for you./ But im all red..." is also very original and catchy... and the metaphor about being awake during "the operation" is most excellent. Overall, great work!

I love this, the emotions it stirs inside. I don't quite understand what you were going for, but it moves me ever more for that very reason.
