[Scar Tissue] - Chapter 1

You're here again with the sorrow
packed tightly in your suitcase
it's all memories that fall down from your words
like pain from a severed nerve
you walk through my walls
and I can still see that
underneathe the skin is your world
the one no one lives in
from where you're screaming, it's empty
we don't live there anymore

the dreams that wake me are
the things that break me
I offered to take unto me
your pain and suffering
but you wouldn't
let me and now I'm sinking

behind this wall with a trigger in
your voice
my flesh is purple from the times
that no one listened
the pills on the counter are your only escape
so I can't run that way

I'm looking inside on the world you made
today
watching it crumble like a house of cards
our hand was just bad, I point out
we're just being pulled under
to a palace of doubt
it's always been here for you
the promise of a tomorrow that grants
no despair
but now you're not there to watch me bleed
