breaking down
I feel so tense
I've been so been damned
for my innocence
I only care
because thats how I am
living for my life
times have changed
now all I get from life
are the bleeding cuts
of love
society has changed me
or I suppose that
maybe I have let it
take apart my life
still I try to find
the things that I have lost
by digging with the knife.
into my skin so soft.
