Fear me for I am the unknown,
Hate me for I am the strange.
My heart to you I've never shown
So how can you tell me who I am?
It is my heart that screams
While my tears fall down in streams.
Somehow the pain still remains,
Keeping me in unworthy chains.
Truth be told, I'm still in shock.
I see the blood, I see the tears
But still my skin stays dry.
I can't believe it's been three years.
A rag-doll within my dreams,
A punching bag within reality.
What to do but blame ones self?
What to do but punish ones flesh...
I may attack you at any given moment
And ask you for my life back.
But you should know, I'm still in fright
And will never leave my empty, heart-shaped box.
