Blood Blister

I staged your death and then covered all my steps

When I was dreaming

No evidence, left no fingerprints

And no one heard you screaming

Wake up and try

Shake out the feeling that's stuck inside

Sometimes it seems the world had it in for me, it's so defeating

Goddammit what did I do wrong?

Did I deserve it?

Was there some sick and twisted underlying purpose?

Something

Something tells me

That I won't ever really understand it

I watch you die when I close my eyes

But I still hear your whisper

Clean out the shades, the dull pain, and blood

That's underneath the blister

It doesn't stop

Face down and float up to the top

Dead skin and phantom limb memories

I feel them like a splinter

Goddammit what did I do wrong, did I deserve it?

Was there some sick and twisted underlying purpose?

I'm drained out and calloused

Drop the dead weight and keep my balance

Take beauty, leave it rendered lifeless and perverted

I kick myself when I'm overwhelmed

And when I feel surrounded

I take a breath 'cause there's nothing left

That I can do about it

I just need to relax a little

I just need to relax a little

I just need to relax a little

I just need to relax a little
