Blood drip drip drips,
From gaping lips,
Running down scarred skin,
Where beauty had once been.

Down down down it goes,
Into the world that no one knows,
Fading black to grey,
Keeping the pain at bay.

Flow flow flow,
No one can ever know,
A secret between the dark and light,
When everything is a perpetual night.

Skin heal heal heal,
This secret that cannot reveal,
The pain on the inside,
It's time for everything to hide.
