Blood Snake

Out of the fire and onto the blade I'm surrounded by every mistake that I've made Not the weight of the world just the weight of my choices A martyr for nothing I'm dead and I'm voiceless The cutting, the crying you're nowhere in sight Till the funeral falls and you're suddenly grieving A game of charades and your misleading light Just to veil all your lies to those you're deceiving This can't be the answer The lust for the cut like emotional cancer Diagnose and label me whatever you see And I'll awake in pain when the mirror shows me Can you feel every cut from the pain that I feel The razor-sharp anguish of shattered ideals The desperate desire for scarlet release And the pain when I finally cut too deep (The pain when I finally cut too deep) Is it me, am I dying? I can't stop this, I'm trying Everything I touch seems to die I'm a failure and ready to say good-bye I'm a failure and ready to say Good-bye I can't breathe with your expectations Around my neck Oceans of pills drowned by oceans of blood And there's nothing but death on the ground where she stood Legacies of stone that we force in the earth While we bury their bodies in the fucking dirt How can you handle the guilt of ignoring the signs? I'm breaking and hating my life God help me to breathe, help me believe That the reason I lose everything isn't me Dress codes, curfews, censorship to strip your children clean Of any personality to make them your machine I'd rather be bled dry till my body breaks Than give up who I am and become a fucking snake This can't be the answer The lust for the cut like emotional cancer Diagnose and label me whatever you see And I'll awake in pain when the mirror shows me Can you feel every cut from the pain that I feel The razor-sharp anguish of shattered ideals The desperate desire for scarlet release And the pain when I finally cut too deep I can feel every cut from the pain that they feel The razor-sharp anguish of their shattered ideals The desperate desire for scarlet release And the pain when they finally cut too deep It follows me at night and haunts my fucking dreams Constant bodies dropping leaves me bleeding from the seams Suicides keep growing and the cuts keep getting deeper How much longer 'till your daughter sets her date with the reaper I can feel every cut from the pain that they feel The razor-sharp anguish of shattered ideals The desperate desire for scarlet release And the pain when they finally cut too deep You treat the best as the worst and the worst like the dead I'd rather die so f*ck this life I'm sleeping with the snakes instead
