Paralyzed, I watch as you stick another dagger in
Out pours pity, sympathy
I'd rather have your apathy
Red bitterness seeps out of my pores
Emptiness fills them instead
A black void remains…
Look into my heart if you can
Try and find your way down the deserted corridors
…death surrounds
A haunted portrait becomes my face
Tears of blood
Lips of diseased paleness
Hair like that of the sun
Silenced…cold…broken…dead
One glance in the mirror and I am lost
…a dark cave is my mind
Hollow and deep…only darkness is held within
All other light is swallowed and suffocated
Too small to penetrate the disease that destroys me
I am she who none thinks upon
Shunned and held in secret
None to look upon her, none to love her
Only pity her from afar
Flesh is but temporary and beauty too
Why can't you see past the gaunt features?
See through the misty shadows what I really portray?
Pull me from my despair and out into the light
Fill my lips with feeling and color
Stop the tears of hatred with a kiss
Bring me back to life
Break death's bind on me
Unshackle my heart, my mind, my soul
Fill me with that which I have been denied
Look past the sorrow and disease
Love me with all you are
And I'll find myself again
