Alive

Biting on swollen lips that have been to far
I'll rip the skin and tear the [w]hole
I want to show you how it is to bleed like me
I want to show you how I hurt

Stab your heart, and leave it cold
I wish I could, I wish I could break you
And I can. But I don't want to break myself.

[For we are inextricably linked
every thought ties me to you
and I fear, that if I cut me
I'll cut you]

& I fear you are slipping
[or is it me? can you see me?]
and we're not that [whole] anymore.

So I'll grit my teeth and hurt
because without you
I am nothing worth keeping

Alive.
