Cold is the body I lay in the casket
the features of his face forever frozen
his hands elegantly placed aside
the color of his skin flushed white

at this moment I watch him lay
gently I proceed to rest my hand over his heart
I wish to feel it beat again
I wish to see his chest lift

sadly he remains a statue
a statue of perfectly chiseled stone
carved by the events in his life
his ups his downs, that's who he is

unable to leave his side
I hold his hand and speak to him
forever I said, forever you're mine
no matter...

Hours in the mirror
and yet
Ican't see who I am

eyes trace over
every detail of my face
let in scars and ruins

for years to come
no one will see me
they wont see who I am

to them im alone and scared
to me im brave but wounded
thats who I am

im the girl you see
who never cries
nd never shows fear

but instead shows
whats on the other side

finaly I know who I am
but I ask, do you?

Each drop, stinging, buring, toxic
melting away my fleshy face
burning my skin in lines of disgrace

Shunned for my weakness of heart
slow beating from every side
I know they lied

Told me i'd be alright
there was nothing to worry about
that this was just a bumpy route

They were all wrong
im shedding tears
hidden in fears

Taking my sweet time
to let myself fade away
like the end of day

My eyes will close
it'll be the end
my last tear falls in the rain as i slowly fade away.
