I do not forgive you

I am skin, I am bone My vessel all alone My heart, it is broken as it stays inside it’s tomb Breaking Through, breaking out Well, it’s all I want to do I’ve left bruises and scratches Hollowed out my chest Waiting for the darkness to come and take my breath Let me in, turn the light on Now it’s time to face your fears Let me be the one to wallow You are not meant to be here Close your eyes, just cave in Succumb to your dreams Left the marks you were tracing, cutting across strings Hidden underneath your doubts It’s not too late now, just let it all out Stitches on your eyelids You dove in too deep Giving up, giving in Let your senses take over Forgive or forget Though you’ll never have peace once you drown in the abyss An endless spiral Don’t try to escape You’ll leave me restless, locking up the gates I’ll take your lips and hold them far behind me Give your “love and affection” till I turn you to stone Breaking down what’s left of your mold Call me cold, call me callous But I’ll always know You’re the one who broke me When you ripped off my clothes
