Vein

The old scars ripped open yet again

See me falter and see me fall

Watch me from the distance, sky growing darker

Gripping reality as I feel I'm slipping away



Every painful moment I bleed to fulfill

The sky painted with blood deeper still



Grey days and dark nights blending together

It seems this pain was made to last forever

Watch me from the cover, clouds getting darker

Opening the wounds, letting my blood run wild



The sun rises again to greet the pain

To sear my flesh, to open my vein

I waste no time for the madman's hope

Every passing day feeling closer to the rope



The ancient scars ripped open yet again

I will falter but I won't fall

Watch me from the shadows, Sky growing brighter

Spilling the life that runs cold inside of me
