Hurt

I pull the knife out of the wound

My arm begins to boil

The red rive meets the sea

The pain is nothing

The pain of the memories

The secrets I long to tell

Come back again to haunt me

They come back to haunt me

They come flooding in

As the blood domes flowing out

And you will find me here

The consciousness, the guilt

All flow in the red streams

Away to meet the sea

I try to swim in the sin

Slowly the sky and earth move in

Clawing, scratching, tearing

I try to plead my innocence

My utopia is ruined

My lack of belief

My mutilation is my last resort

My hurt is my ecstasy

And you will find me here

Coming back to avenge myself

My explanation done

My battle lost, my war is won

Soon my sleep will come easy

My dreams live on without me

My world lies in hell

I had to do this to myself

I stick the knife again

I twist to make the blood run fast

I don’t want my soul to last

I don’t want anything to last

…anymore
