Slice Me Open
every scar meant for you
 every tear because of you
 blood rushed out to let it out
 and no one knew who it was about
 i had to bleed for people to see
 the pain i carry with me
 and my scars only remind me day by day
 the pain i went through and what i never say
 permanent marks spread through my skin
 neither letting them out or letting them in
 i was so afraid to speak 
 that instead i let my blood leak
 tried the rope of death
 to stop my very own breath
 thinking it was the only way out
 but knowing it was the easy way out
 leaving so many behind
 but i didn't mind
 heartless soul
 because the real me is buried deep in a hole
 I'm too weak to get the real me back
 because there's so much strength i lack
 alliances that walk me there
 thinking that it's only fair
 if you slice me open then all you will find
 is a shattered heart and a tormented mind
 haunting memories that make you say
 that everything will never be okay
 the most I'mportant thing to me
 snatched from my undeveloped body
 how do i live with such nightmare
 even awake i have them it's not fair
 i walk on a string all the tI'me
 above shallow water way up high
 I'll slip one day to face my fears
 and I'll drown in my own empty tears
 i woke from the dead
 from that cold hard bed
 the girl you knew
 died thanks to you
 so numb i like the pain
 that you repeatedly call insane
 the pleasure I'm feeling
 pushes me further from my healing
 gushing liquid the color red
 from my very own skin i shed
 now do me a favor and use that blade
 to slice me open and let me fade
 die in your arms and disappear
 because the real me will never reappear
 dead soul controlled by nothing
 only leads to the end of everything
 all you knew
 i killed because of you
 now kill this body that take up space
 and sI'mply forget my face
 erase what you call life
 with your very own knife
 they hate to see me sad
 because i lost everything i ever had
 because apparently I'm too selfish with them
 the empty girl i am i will always be
 she died why can't you see
 kill what's left; this body shallow with blood
 use the scissors and spill her blood
 to rest in peace because after all
 you could have helped her but you watched her fall
 you made her staying only be a while
 and ripped the happiness off her smile
 oh so young she died
 and you smiled as she cried
 after all
 she was never there at all
 shattered pieces that float in the air
 a broken puzzle you can never repair
 pull the trigger
 end the problem before it gets bigger
 to the ground let this body fall
 it won't matter because we won't care at all
 finish me so they will stop hoping
 for her to come back just slice me open
 slice me open
 as you sliced her open
