You've said "I loved you" about a million times
but have you ever meant a word?
I've asked you to stop
but were my thoughts even heard?
are you that cold inside?
that your love for me
is frozen over with pride?
do you want me to fight back?
because I promise I won't
These bruises. They remind me of you.
I told God about the things you do.
He didn't reply.
But I felt it in my aching heart
that I should break away and make a new start
Far away from something like you.
but I Rather be in pain than to be alone
I Hope you’re happy
I hope you’re happy with my silent body
i never thought it would get this far.
the police didn't even recognize me you know.
not even they knew what I was anymore.
between dismantled remains
and silent cries, they pieced me back together
bone by broken bone
flesh by rotting flesh
I don't blame you for this
maybe this was how you found pleasure
the same way I found pleasure
in My Half Measure.
