Cut Me Deep

Now could it be that I no longer see

All the things that you had done for me

I was your true believer

You were my preferred company

Your words were a spell, your words gave hell

A fever dream that I reaped

You knocked me down, then left this town

And now you linger above me

But why do I lie?

And say to myself it's alright

My hands are tied, well that's the crime

The fear is making me die

So, cut me deep, like a knife

Make me bleed, make me fight

I've gone so numb, I'm lost inside

I want to feel like I'm alive

So, cut me deep, like a knife

Make me bleed, till I feel right

I've gone so numb, I'm dead inside

I want to feel like I'm alive

But why do I feel so strongly

About this thing that destroys me

You were my lone receiver

But now I lay in apathy

Your words were a spell, your words gave me hell

A fever dream that I reaped

You knocked me down, then left this town

And now you're somewhere above me

But why do I cry?

And stay in comfort and never try

Say I'm too tired, the coward's lie

While each little piece of me dies

Melancholy why do you shake my bones

Reminding me why I am all alone?

I was fighting wars and not knowing the cost

Now I realize all that I have lost

Now these darkened streets are all I call my own

I'm just a lonely ghost in a burned down home

And I have this fear that I'm too far gone

And all from what cost?

Melancholy why do you shake my bones

Reminding me why I am all alone?

I was fighting wars and not knowing the cost

Now I realize all that I have lost

To feel like I'm alive

To feel again
