A/N. This one goes to a very special person. You tried to help me through it, without knowing you were the one who caused the pain. I'm grateful that you tried, and I don't blame you for giving up.


And the world was shivering before your eyes when you opened them,
to let the sunlight out.
And people would have stopped and stared,
if they were like me.
But I can’t figure out just who I am or who I long to be.

My sun is dying where you left it bleeding.
I’m choking, fighting for my life, I’m pleading.
The lies I told and fooled you to belive in
The steel I hid to save you from my grief

And I was trembling under the wieght of your words then when you told me,
to let the darkness out.
I scraped the bottom of your eyes,
The prison I’m in.
But when your heart is lost to be, you can never win.

Deprive the fish its gills
And it shall be murdered
By what provided it life before
Eat or be eaten
Not less, not more
I ate venom, they ate me
To put the poison where it ought to be.

My sun is dying where you left it bleeding.
I’m choking, fighting for my life, I’m pleading.
The lies I told and fooled you to belive in
The steel I hid to save you from my grief
