In the Paper

I’ve hidden my heart away in letters unspent Tumbling down, all around, everywhere but here I’ve left my dreams locked away inside a pen staining a page Tumbling down, all around, everywhere but here I’ve surrounded myself with smiling faces Tumbling down, all around, everywhere but here Laughing eyes and biting tears born from work Tumbling down, all around, everywhere but here Because I cannot bear to see my fate across these pages Tumbling down, all around, everywhere but here I’ve left my soul trapped inside pages Screaming, it’s screaming, crying out loud I’ve scrapped my heart inside a papermate’s blood Screaming, it’s screaming, crying out loud I’ve screamed my mind’s cries all over the walls Screaming, it’s screaming, crying out loud Of this page, this word, these words Are screaming, they’re screaming, crying out loud Because I cannot see anything anymore I am screaming, I scream, crying out loud I’ve laid my body down on these tracks It’s exhausted anyway, its tired, weary to the core I’ve crushed my eyes between these lines Tumbling down, all around, everywhere but here I’ve scraped my lips raw with paper cuts I cannot bear to speak, to whisper, release this whimper All because I cannot bear the thought of you I am screaming, I scream, crying out loud Being with another, kissing another, and I die here on this page I am screaming, Tumbling down, Crying out loud, E-V-E-R-Y-W-H-E-R-E but here Because you lied to me You lied to me When you said I care a lot about you You lied Lied when you said I think you know where that comes from I died in the realization of that lie
