I saw her on the train today
Sat opposite to me she was
Dressed in black
With a tattoo on her back
Everybody on a journey
I wonder where she is going
To see a mother a father,
A lover or a brother
I wonder if she knows where her journey ends?
Amazed by the reflection of her eyes
Staring back with a look of confusion
Deep red eyes
To much pain to try and hide
Searching for the answers in her soul
I wonder what happened
What caused her damaged heart to bleed?
I can’t imagine what darkness covers her soul
The train pulls into the station
I wonder if I’ll see her again?
Maybe if she lives nearby
I somehow fear seeing her again,
But maybe if she lives?
As I get up to leave
I have to sit back down
For as I moved, that girl
That girl she moved in time
And the darkness in her eyes
Sprang to life in mine.
As the dust falls through the window
While the sun slowly fades into the night
A ghost falls against the wall
Echoing a soul trapped within life
The small silhouette falls to the floor
Wishing to fly with the last wisps of light
But its too late, as the shadow takes control
She has to find away to hide in her mind
She creeps to the darkness knowing the sun
Will not call again til tomorrows dawn
She surrenders to the shadow as he enters her room
Begging to him for it to be over soon.
Secret walls I've build to keep myself safe
A decade of scars concealed within
And now thanks to you their all gone
Because you couldn’t leave it alone
You couldn’t just be glad I was safely home
Why couldn’t you just leave it be
Just be pleased that every day I still breath
I can’t believe you thought this was okay
Now that you’ve taken it all away
You made it impossible for me to stay
Fuck what am I suppose to do
I can’t cope with what you know
I have to go, can’t be where you are
I can’t even look you in the eye
Now you know all my lies
I’m really not having this conversation with you
Question and question about what I do
I can’t answer them, because its nothing you want to hear
Why insist on turning back time
Its nothing to do with you, these scars are all mine.
So Im begging you please
Just leave me alone, to even the score
Now that I can’t stay I've got nothing to lose
Tell me which way out would you chose?
Come on you wanted to help, suggest a noose?
Or maybe pills and razors too
What about a bullet and a gun
Pull the trigger beneath the sun
Told you, you didn’t want to hear
See things aren’t always what they appear.
I remember the night
They came knocking on the door
She carried your sweater
The one you always wore
I pictured you in it
As I sank to the floor
In the woods behind our house
In the hollow where we use to hang out
Near an old photo
Taken in happier times
That tumbled to the ground
Near the tree where you were found
I hate you for what you made me do
Arranging the flowers that meant most to you
Hoping no one would see me cry
As ya mama and papa past me by
As a stranger I stood at you grave
Acting like a friend standing brave
Now as time passes me by
I still lie at night and begin to cry
Why wasn’t I strong enough to protect you?
From all in the world that hurt and pained you
Why couldn’t you see different was okay?
Why wasn’t my love enough to make you stay?
It was my place
You invaded
It was my world
You inhabited
It was my safety
You invaded
It was my head
You raided
It was my bed
You invaded
It was my heart
You divided
It was my insanity
You invaded
It was my anger
You guarded
It was my tear
You invaded
It was my love
You needed
It was my pain
You invaded
It was my way out
You barricaded
It was my soul
You invaded
It was my space
You infected
It was my life
You invaded
It was me
You ended.
She feels the warmth of the sapphire sky,
The world still whirling below,
The little girl inside wakes for the begging of the storm,
Liberated by the silencing of her screams.
Feeling alive in the last whispers of time,
Her last breathe held safely inside herself,
Red follows silver, as she finds a star for direction.
Her deepest sins seep from her soul,
Vanishing to the world beneath.
She sings a childish melody to the world,
Reveling in the ecstasy of her release,
Understands the torment will end her tonight.
All the times she whispered to the haunted,
She aches for the return to her salvation,
The raindrops falling, calming acid to her skin,
The clouds open the heavens door for her to follow.
Watching the darkening sky fly over her,
She dances towards the reflection,
of the angel in the moon,
Closer to the ledge, her theatre, her stage.
The dark mist that fell in all her dreams,
Decays into a thousand shards, unleashed.
Midnight calls the angel to fade,
pale away as she closes her eyes,
For the last time in her life,
She’s falling.
Her last breath, unconfined from its cage within,
Sweet rapture released.
