There's something eating me from inside out

Guess it doesn't matter what I say

I cough up blood and words that I regret

So long your attention has gone away 



These high school words have lost their power

Their meaning bleeds right through this page

I state my case and you impale yourself

On points to you I wish I'd made



Let's just pretend this never happened and we'll be on our way

Even with these scars I can't remember how we started anyway

Your blood it stains me like a trophy when I wear it I'm ashamed

Of what I was or what I am or every thing I could have been 



You want some proof?

Crack open my skull

Safe place where evil thoughts reside 

These underhanded gestures I make 

Do they help you sleep at night?





Let's just pretend this never happened and we'll be on our way

Even with these scars I can't remember how we started anyway

Your blood it stains me like a trophy when I wear it I'm ashamed

Of what I was or what I am or every thing I could have been
