Replace My Heart

Reap my soul.

I whisper cruel words that

only I can hear.

I dream in a never ending line of tragedy.

Reap my soul

disposition neckbraced

by insecurity.

Let freedom

ring in my ears

painfully. And muffle this bell with the

hand of pessimism

and render it useless.

you can't stop this thought

like a passing trainwreck

it barrels through my brain

paralyzing.

In this state your words

become the daggers and I'm left bleeding.

These wounds of trust I know

as tunnel vision creates

my only sanctuary. As hope manifests

itself in the thought

of an end. A dying breath.

Reap my soul.

I'm not sure I can go on.

So drag me down

into your world.

Replace my heart

with your machine

and see if it still bleeds.

Become my enemy.

Reap my soul

My eyeslids become my enemies

I fight them to save myself

from the scene.

As the groundwork for my nightmares

is created

I stand helpless to this chaos in my head

and yet the chaos stands beautifully now

like a carefully designed city of conformity.

And I'll keep you awake tonight

and I'll hurt you

until sunrise

in this attempt to displace

this pushing attack on my senses.

Reap my soul

I'm not sure I can go on.

Now drag me down

into your world.

Replace my heart with

your machine

and see if it still bleeds

I'll cover my tracks

so you can't trace

this accident to me.

Drag me down now.
