Lyrics: Falling Blind. Dirty.

Staring at my reflection, seeing the wrongs I?ve done
In the face of rejection I should learn to hold my tongue
So I?ll toss this robe so clean into the pit that is me
And watch it stain so dark, so dark you cannot see
The white tight underneath, but you try with bloodshot eyes

And you?ll leave me there to die

My mind fights to grasp this life
While I stumble and trip on the line
Wish a rope would come my way, pull me from this pit of lies
I?ve been cheated by the best, shove your lies into my chest

And you?ll leave me there to die
When you?ve lost your love for me
As you choke on your lies and steal some breath from me
Remember when death comes to you a new life is waiting for me

You know that your heart is a stone, made to crush the weak and powerless
Everyone you touch, turned to stone
Left alone, never to trust again or find an end
To the hatred deep in their bones
Your heart truly is a stone, that rolls over and over and over my heart
But I won?t let you tear me apart
No
I won?t let you tear me apart

So I?ll learn to walk away
Find myself a brighter day
I know these wounds will heal, but the scars will still remain
So I?ll learn to wear them proud
As I leave you behind me now
