The Blood.

It came so suddenly
And it knocked the breath right out of me
Now my stars are falling down
And when I look at the night, the night's all I see
To remember a certain face
There are some things you can never replace
So ask me what's wrong again
But I will never know what to say
Let me explain to you what aquiver means
It means that when I finally sleep
All I do is dream and dream
About the most grief-stricken things
And all my fears are what I bleed
And I think and think and think
About the girl who doesn't know that she's gold
About the boy with stories untold
About a girl whose world I stole
About a boy who can't grow old
About a girl I cannot mend
About a boy I call my friend
About a girl whose heart she sent
About a boy who up and left

I'm sorry Mom that I don't sleep sometimes

I absorb emotions at night

People tell me they're not mine

But I'd take a bullet for the friends that stay by my side

(And don't)

And I'm sorry Dad for all the times

You try to get a word from me, and I only cry

Maybe I'm too sensitive for this life

But never think I never try

I discovered how it can rain from the ceiling

It's called an introspective thunderstorm

And the water's what I call feeling

I only wish the walls were all soundproof

So I could let it out sometimes

And I won't let you help with the roof

People teach me about what's wrong

So I learn to recognize each kind of problem

That's when my life becomes like my algebra

'Cause I can't figure out how to solve them

And then they start blurring

Right in front of me

Like they even ever needed

To become more confusing

I told a lie to the mirror once

After sobbing on the bathroom floor

It comes with the rarest personality type

Said I couldn't take it anymore

When do you seek help?

Is it when your thoughts are haunting you

And you don't even know yourself?

So come back here and bleed on a piece of paper

The ink rubs across my hand, telling my head, "You know you shake her."

But once it's down, I'll be okay

And save it for another day

But maybe that's when I should pray

Whenever I feel like a waste

'Cause there's a girl who says they'll never stay

A boy who's feeling quite the same

A girl who's known a world of pain

The boy who says he'll wait and wait

A girl who'll never let me help

A boy trying to know himself

A girl who's trying not to yell

A boy who made me question myself

Don't remind me of the past

I think of it enough

All the things that somehow last

Even thought they're said and done

But maybe I should speak of it

'Cause there's fear

That burrows here

And maybe talking could get rid of it

Don't wish away your life, for me

Don't throw yourself away to see

(That I cared more than anything)
