Forms Of Fear

Warrior girl at the front of the line
streaks of grey, tired eyes
never let them see you're terrified.
In the garden of eden, tricks were played
but you ate the man, then you ate the snake.
"You will never take my name."
Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither were her scars
a victim of a slow burn with a matchstick heart.
"I fear the flame, but for gasoline I thirst,
I'll drink till my death to end this curse."
There was snow on the ground when you opened the door
and handed her the key.
"Break the locks, run away, I can't save myself from me."
It's not that I fear falling, I'm afraid of being paralyzed
and maybe I'm not strong.
Baby, I'm not strong,
I'm just scared of being found hanging from your every word
hovering..
Baby, I'm not strong, I'm just scared of being found
hanging from your every word
swinging from the rafters.

Swallow your heart to keep it safe
now you're gone but your scars have stayed
rags of skin rotting away
you are in my veins
you are in my veins and I want them to drain.
In the sand, you sink
I crack my wrists to pour you a drink
for days on end, I went insane
this is the last time I will say your name.
For days on end, I went insane
this is the last time I will say your name
you are in my veins, and I want them to drain.
Swallow your heart to keep it safe
now you're gone but your scars have stayed.
Rotting away
drain, drain, drain.

My back against the floor boards,
I feel a cold breeze
the wind blows through the window
moving through the curtains like you move through me.
Sketching my portrait into the walls
on that summer's eve
the sky is quiet, I meet your eyes
clench my fists, swallow my pride
reach out a hand only to receive
a diagram carefully tracing 24 years taken out of me.
Every body leaves
everything dies
all I fucking do is cry.
The air is still, the night is dead
I dismantle myself to put you back together
you can't expect to stay dry in this type of weather.
I open the window, and turn to the road
all I see is ashes, bloodshed and bones
I'm only holding on because I refuse to let go.
All I have is myself, and I'm in the worst company.
Help me forget me,
help me, help me.
