A Reflection Found In Blood

No guiding light

Decaying in shadows

Lost track of time

Can’t count on tomorrow

Just like the violence of a storm

Another pain I can’t ignore

Something inside me’s missing

But I can’t make you miss me

Proved yourself

Like the rest

Failed every single test

Regret lingers on your breath

We both know its far too late to turn back

I carried my heart in my hand

Now blood collects where I stand

But these wounds are still far too familiar

Sending me right back off into the deep end

Where I can’t breathe in

I can’t even pretend I’m okay

Now it’s not the same

Don’t know where to begin

Just know I hate this feeling

Deep inside

I tried everything

But you’re still fading

Surrender

Forever

The lines spell separation

Drawn into the sand

Where your reflection stands

The weight of the world

Is something I would rather carry

If stopping the bleeding is not necessary

There’s no trace of a bright side

I’ve waited here for a lifetime

Right back off into the deep end

Where I can’t breathe in

I can’t even pretend I’m okay

Now its not the same

Sending me right back off into the deep end

Where I can’t breathe in

I can’t even pretend I’m okay

Now it’s not the same

Don’t know where to begin

Just know I hate this feeling

Deep inside

I tried everything

But you’re still fading

Surrender

Forever

The lines spell separation

Drawn into the sand

Where your reflection stands
