Then proceed to bite through my tongue   Close my eyes   Sew them shut   Then burn your face in my mind      Here in the night   Here in the dark   Stitches in my mind rip and tear apart   Leave me here undone   This, I see   This, I know:   This fight I’ll fight on my own      This is a war of silence I keep losing   Despite my senses, I cannot stop caring      The feel of thread behind my lids reminds me of when we were young   Scratch the walls   Bind my hands   And pray the night closes in      Thoughts in my head   Cancer of the mind   Letting chaos in   Killing all it finds   Leave me here unwhole   This, I see   This, I know:   This fight I’ll fight on my own      This is a war of silence I keep losing   Despite my senses, I cannot stop caring   Look to the light and slip into forever   Close your eyes and you’ll see the life I wanted      Yours was the last face I saw before I lost my eyes   Yours was the last name I said before I gave up my voice   Yours were the last words I thought before I lost my mind   Yours was the last life I took before I took my own      Lost my eyes to make my point   And yet I still feel unfulfilled   I can’t speak   I can’t think without a fatal result      Two becoming one   One becoming two   You make me hate everything I do   But I will persist   This, I see   This, I know:   This fight I’ll fight on my own      This is a war of silence I keep losing   Despite my senses, I cannot stop caring   Look to the light and slip into forever   Close your eyes and you’ll see the life I wanted
