There's a bleeding hole in my heart
A void I can not fill
It cries out to me so loudly
but still I shut it out
As the blood runs down my arms
and my skin begins to crawl
I see the precious memories
Of a life that once I knew
Of happiness and laughter
No fake smiles and no more cries
on this crying tear-stained face
As I lay awake at night
Wishing God would take me
Up into his arms
and save my screaming soul
Until I see the light outside
a new day has arose
I paint on my new face
Of laughs and smiles galore
But inside I know the truth
And I can't hide it anymore
So I'll write you a nice letter
explaining all of me
and all the fears and demons
deep inside of me
I'm afraid you'll turn away
But thats the risk I'm gonna take
Cuz I need someone to love and
I need someone to care
Or else I'm going under
My breath's already leaving
and my heart already slows
But still I have some hope
Until the darkness comes
and all my terrors come out
haunt me when I sleep
and stare while Im awake
Then once again
that bright and shining sun
comes again with hope and light
But until it comes
I'll lie here in this misery
waiting for the day
that special day
when someone sets me free.
