Left alone, left here to die

Inside the pain of the past

Where tortured children come

To play in the ashes

And within, the embers lie

To burn us

Strengthen the skin

Broken and bled

From breaking myself on your walls

In the hope you would see my open chest and love me in return

And I tear

My soul apart

To rip the wound

That never healed

Lurking in the shadows of my heart lies a torment I never knew could exist

When you said I'm with you always I never dreamed that you'd haunt me in disguise

As the wound stitches over I realize that I must look within

In the end, I want to thank you for being the catalyst so I could understand
