heart, bleeding, fire, scared, depression, worried, match, spark, glows, self-injury
Your bleeding on the inside, bleeding straight through
It's just that no one notices except for you.

Your clawing at your insides.
Just trying to find the way out.

Your lost and aimless, without a doubt.
The light has dissapeared from sight now.

Your fumbling around in the dark.
Searching for a small match or spark.

Your looking for a way to kill the dark
There is something you've forgotten.

Your losing it still.
It is something you once held so precious and near.

Your grasping for it blindly.
Light slips through your fingers.

Your lost without its glow.
Surely the blood must now show.

Your still looking, still striving.
Now it's in your grasp.

Your picking up the very last match.
Slowly you light its flame.

Your light the fire now, It's blazing high.
And somewhere deep inside you now,

Your heart is catching a'fire.
