Cut Deep

I'm sitting here and stuck feeling low
Trying to pull the knives out of my back
But I can't seem to let them go
Their cold and sharp sting are all I have
To remind me of those brighter days
When I lived ignorant of the clouds in my eyes

The past should always stay the same
But sometimes the truth comes around later
Shattering all that you know
Breaking the the fragile state of your reality
And leaving you questioning what, if anything, was ever true

No other question haunts or torments like "why?"
One simple syllable that bounces in your curious mind
Trying to figure out if there were things you could have done
Wondering what could have been if you had clear eyes
Why did they have to stab deep and turn those cold blades
Your trust like a sweet red candy coming from the wound
They took it all away and left you drained
A shell of a human being that once felt so true

To smile when harsh reality hits is a manic response
To the contradicting knowledge my clear and red eyes now know
Struggling with the the way thing are
Fighting hard to piece back together the shattered dreams once real
Grasping in vain as the shards fall into the abyss of time

Stuck here wondering how to let the wounds heal
Those cold knives still in my back, touching my heart
Wondering how to let these sharp emotions go
To let time heal over this cruel pain
So I can try to hide away from the scars left behind
