Why do I flinch? It's quite the story. I'll tell you in a cinch, But it's very boring. A hit and a scratch Is all it took. I made the patch, And now I'm hooked. I try to hide These scars from view. But step inside, And there's a different hue. Black and white, And in between. I try to fight, It's never clean. Then it's red, The color I see. The tears I shed, They aren't me.

Sometimes I wish things could go back, To the way things were before. Before the loneliness, Betrayal, And loss. A me whose heart was open and kind, Chained down and no longer free. The light ahead so far away, I'll make it there, Someday.

Snow so pure and night so white. Happy hearts and warming smiles. In the cold and wintery days, Family stays and pains will fade.

My soul aches through passing years Alone without my love so dear Doubt and fear crawl deep inside Lust has filled my searching eyes Death captures my wandering heart The pain draws slowly from my life.

Time's surrounded by darkness, There's blackness in my soul. Under the aches and pains Of my mortal strife Lies a shadow beneath my heart.

The sorrows that fill my heart Wail for a chance to flee But no savior will come For the prison gates Are locked and shut. Oh these prison gates Oh how I wish That I might shatter them But oh so tall And oh so strong I just sit and stare And wallow in my misery.

Beads scattered across the floor Hearts torn and life shattered What an empty life in me. A soul trapped inside Waiting for her chance to fly But never does she see the light.

Darkness comes to cover all It strips away the painted heart Dark despair and hate will rise Consuming all within our eyes. Doubt and fear will creep inside Pain and sorrow are left behind Twisted paths fall slowly near Consuming all within our mind. Love is lost and friendship dies The daggers tip draws slowly nigh Betrayal, loss, and solitude Consuming all within our heart. Broken down and beaten up The words that pierce the soul With pain and anguish on our lips We slowly cut our lives in two And separate our souls from you.
