Release

Releasing the pain

Release

It wasn't always like this
I never used to hide,
Hidden Hands pull the strings
As I release my pain again.

You curse and scream
I am nothing to you
No one seems to care
About the pain I keep within.

I can't deal with this
So I turn to a knife,
It's not quite suicide
It gets me through.

Camouflage my scars
From the cut that never heals
Blood drips down my hand,
Emotions flee from me.

Tears never seem to fall
There's nothing left inside
My pride slowly faded
When you walked into my life.

Nothing is ever good enough
There's nothing left to feel
I kill my soul in vain,
Your ego feeds as I bleed.

Cut down to the vein
Feel the pressure release,
Don't want to feel this pain,
Got to get away from me.

Camouflage my scars
From the cut that never heals
Blood drips down my hand,
Emotions flee from me.

I can't take any more of this
I want to come apart
Holding on just isn't enough
These wounds will never heal.

I've wasted away
And there's nothing left
Only my frail body
And shattered mind remain.

I can't deal with this
So I turn to a knife,
It's not quite suicide
It gets me through.

Camouflage my scars
From the cut that never heals
Blood drips down my hand,
Emotions flee from me.

It wasn’t always like this
I never used to hide,
Hidden Hands pull the strings

As I release my pain again.
