Like Bruises

Every moment holds a question

Every look a murmur of the shame

That burdens every step I make

Through a life disturbed and blurred by hate

There's a thought that haunts me every day

That a person's fate is pre-arranged

And though I question every moment

The answer'll always be the same

And I just can't seem to face this house

It's like I feel you flinch when I kiss your mouth

Like bruises on skin

Words unspoken sink in

Derailing, all that I am, all I could be

You mark this bruise on my soul

Words unspoken take hold

All that I am is no more.

All my enemies are memories

Every one embedded in my brain

You put up walls to keep your ghosts at bay

What use are walls with evil this ingrained?

In every, inch and fibre of my being

Twisting, thoughts to pain and whispering

Rumours of a, faded love

It's breaking point, I've had enough!

And I just (ah..) can't seem to face this (oh..) house

It's like I feel you (oh..) flinch when I kiss your (oh..) mouth

Like bruises on skin

Words unspoken sink in

Derailing, all that I am, all I could be

You mark this bruise on my soul

Words unspoken take hold

All that I am is no more

The hall light, flickers cruelly

As I, search, the sheets for sleep, but.. (sleep, sleep)

It's nowhere to be found, here.. (sleep [?]..)

In the blackest night.. (blackest night)

Like bruises on skin

Words unspoken sink in

Derailing, all that I am, all I could be

You mark this bruise on my soul

Words unspoken take hold

All that I am (all that I am)

All that I am (all that I am)

All that I am is no more!
