lyrics

I designed my own destruction. Opened up my arms. As a crimson red eruption stained my t-shirt I fell into unknown calm. You saw me.
As the colour drained from my face, fell away from me and danced with the fibres of the carpet, I smiled a fresh smile and fell in to a trance. You saw me.
I didn’t think that it would end this way. You should have seen the look on your face.
If I should die in your arms tonight, I can only apologise. I only hope you realise, this is me under my disguise.
I’ve worn it every day and night for years now.
It just became a fucking mess, just live and hate and fuck the rest. I’ve put on weight since starting this. It’s getting tight around my chest,
And I can barely breathe except to scream now.
I’ll flush your image from my mind for the strength to end this warfare.
And open wide my bloodshot eyes, still stain the clothes that I wear,
Red only, and I’ll see you on the other side if we should ever find a way to get there.
I’ll keep this up as long as I can keep you in my mind, but I’m just not as strong as you, or as strong as I would like to be.
