Threshold
...and I stand & I scream,
in my dreams it's a dream.
Make it hurt, make me cry;
anything but these feelings dry.
drag it down and slice it up,
try and try but still no luck.
I tear, I fear, I miss, I wish,
I lay this wish upon my lips.
I wish to feel, even a little,
It's driving me mad, my sanity's brittle.
Was there ever a time, a time in my past...
Could I ever feel? Make a feeling last?
if you have to slap me, kick me, bite me,
Throw me down, and beat me empty.
'Cause the pain from me and the pain from you,
doesn't compare to what my mind can do.
