A million daggers dance in my head,

A loving lullaby plays down to the dead,

Sing a sweet song to me and let me know I breath,

For in my mind I see nothing but me as I bleed,

You say I am alive,

Well so you say,

But the tricks you’ve played,

They still remind me that you are not trustworthy,

The empty promises of aid you swore,

Play like a broken record,

You hypocrite,

Don’t you preach to me damn you,

Banish me if you can,

So I can die again,

No I live to feel all you strike into me,

Dance for me once,

So I can sing til I bleed,

Kiss me once,

So you may release the dagger from my heart,

Push me once,

So I may fall into a death trap you placed,

Cut me once,

So I can feel pain,

Cut me again,

So you can laugh at me,

Cut me again,

So I can cry for you,

Stab me again,

So I can take you to hell with me.
