"Dried Blood"

See this, and I turn away,
Can't bear to show myself today,
See that circle surrounding him,
It eats me all up from within.
I know there's no way they can tell,
But I can't breathe - can't escape this hell.

Sharp and shallow,
Cutting nerves in flesh.
That's how my breathing comes,
My thoughts are just a mesh.
Light enters my eyes askew,
In blurred vision all I see is you.

I can't feel anything,
Can't tell if I'm still standing.
Cover up, tell another lie,
All that's left to do is die.
I can't see, I can't hear,
Nothing to feel except this fear,
I can't hurt, I can't cry,
Seeing you I see myself die.

Voices light up,
In me they're calling.
Picking myself back-up,
Stopping the falling.
Showing me just what I want,
I'm just reminded what I haven't got.

I can't see, I can't hear,
Nothing to feel, Nothing but fear,
I can't hurt, I can't cry,
I don't see you, I just see myself die.

A day passes by,
Another part from you,
The closer it gets to the end
Of this tunnel I am pushing through.
The closer to the time you're gone,
There's nothing left to feel when you're alone.

I can't feel anything,
Can't tell if I'm still standing.
Cover up, tell another lie,
All that's left to do is die.
You, I can't see,
You, I can't hear,
You, I can't feel,
You, I don't fear.
Anymore, I can't be hurt,
Anymore, I can't cry,
Anymore, we've moved away,
There's no more of me left to die.
