Daggers

Deathboy


I poured my heart out 
Into a bottle 
I left my life on 
The bathroom floor 
My will has slipped down 
Right to the bottom 
I watch my corpse float 
Up to your door 

I sing my lungs out 
Into your silence 
I left my light on 
Hoping you'd come 
My peaceful protest 
Crazier violence 
I see my heart strings 
coming undone 

I wrote my words out 
Into a letter 
I let the page fall 
Onto your bed 
I want your touch so 
It will get better 
I want to hear now 
Things never said 

I let my tears fall 
Making me hollow 
I squeezed my fear out 
Over your walls 

I gripped your hand tight 
Letting me follow 
But my survival 
Means nothing at all 

I threw my plea down 
Into the ocean 
I talked the sea down 
Numbing my face 
I walked the streets down 
Slowing my motion 
I called your name down 
Another race with a bitter taste 

And I held my arms out 
For you to hold me 
Instead you 
whispered me daggers 

And what you did 
Wasn't what you told me 
Instead you 
whispered me daggers 

And when I call 
you never catch me 
leaving me staggered 

And through it all 
you reassured me 
and whispered me daggers
