Shattered Hands

So many years of being distant, of being dismissive

Countless Summers avoiding my own reflection

If all I have is this apathy and my isolation

Then what more could anyone want from me?

Stitched together by the lies that fall from your venomous lips

Your voice is poisonous as plumes of cigarette smoke

You betrayed me even though I gave you everything I loved

These are the scars that time cannot erase

I have nothing left to give

Broken and bruised

My body still bleeds for you

Rip out my eyes

So I don't have to see

The way your flesh recoils from me

Sharp pains of growth were worth it in the end

I'd rather die than spend another day in this

Stagnant nightmare (stagnant nightmare)

Crawling through glowing coals

Just to watch you

Burn

Broken and bruised

My body still bleeds for you

The most painful memories is of love no longer there

Past times have died along with who we used to be

Mourning the life we shared everyday

A test of my heart to withhold agony

With my shattered hands

I crawl back to you
