I bleed

I stand here and i bleed
but i feel no shame
i cried for help
and nobody came

To purge the sickness from my veins
i cut to feel for just a little while
covered from head to toe in crimson stains
old battle scars from nothing worthwhile

So i sit here and i bleed
but i feel no shame
i cry for help
you lay the blame

No more sitting at this screen
a million strangers at my fingertips
so many lost souls short on esteem
sick of this life and our little
dictatorships

I lay here as i bleed
my thoughts they swim in rivers red
and each drop a painful memory freed
the bitter pill of things left unsaid

Still i feel no shame
i tried to help
you lay the blame
