Pain

The pendulum swinging down

My heart begins to slow
Mice scuttle close around

Tears pour for all my sorrow.

This hand I hold my blade in

Red tears pouring down my skin

The sound of flesh being ripped apart

To the grave my soul will part.

Everything I do upsets you
Never doing anything right

So here I lie and all I do is cry
To make you happy being perfect might.

My emotions empty with the scars

Hurt so deep but won't regret
Wash away tears with alcohol bars

Your words in my mind have set.
