Bleed for me Why? Why what she says? Why do you cut, why do you bleed yourself? Why do birds fly, how the heck should I know? Ah but you are so beautiful, soft and sweet You see only as you wish, no one looks closer At the inside of me No one sees the mirror I see Tiss not true, I see through your eyes Come then take a good look, stare into my emptiness You see nothing ok?
