Open Your Wrists
Open your wrists
Let the blood leak out
In a crimson river of tears
Allow it to fall
Upon tile grounds
Making the color unclear
Open your mouth
Let a scream slip out
And echo against lonely walls
Allow it to linger,
To fill quiet airs
Then back in your ears, let it crawl
Open your mind
Let it cluelessly wander
With nothing clouded in your brain
Allow it to focus
On life or on death
And if scars will forever remain
Open your heart
Let it never forgive
Those who've caused wounds so deep down
Allow it to rage
Against misunderstanding,
Let it yell the loudest silent sound
Open your wrists
Let the pain leak out
In a crimson river of sorrow
Allow it to fall
Upon off-white grounds
And remember there's always tomorrow
