Dismantle Me

These poisoning questions Make me part of your collection Just another box that is on the shelf In a cage of brick and mortar I succumb to every order Saluting just to diagnose myself The sun will rise again Blood spills like a tide coming in How long is forever if tomorrow is just a dream I've become every shadow in the room The mirror splits an image, there is silence there are screams No longer trusting this point of view I'm numb and blind, hiding it all within Love is a lie when you wear it on your skin Go and tear me apart You'll find peace amongst the pieces And I cringe as I crawl Left with the blue hue of bruises What good are these limbs if I will never get to use them Wasting away in wreckage Does this make me human This distant pale complexion begs for color correction Drag this broken brush across these burdened eyes Hulled out and so hollow I left a trail for you to follow We've put the pieces together one thousand times The sun is in the sky only to set again Blood is the prize and you are cashing in Numb and disguised, not sure what my costume is Love is suicide, won't you slice my wrists Dismantle me Like machinery Let the pieces fall at your feet Dismantle me I'm now incomplete Shattered and collapsing In the grip of gravity And the puppets bounce in cadence To much of our amazement It's a shame you couldn't save them But at least we made the front pages
