Louder
Something behind you back turns the volume up The once whispers grow louder with each cut Run, run, hide, hide! But it gets louder with each stride Shut the door! Before it gets louder than before! No, no you can't do it You promised to flee from it But the temptations grow and grow Maybe it's something I should throw? You're better than this Ohh, my heart is an abyss Reach for the box on the shelf Why do I do this to one self Glistens in the light With a deeper fright Tears through flesh Blood seeps out fresh Once pain in the heart is now pain on my limb It all happened in a whim Redness spreads across your connective tissue Do I have an issue? Footsteps grow louder Hide the blade, silly chowder! What would they think of you For being such a fool They won't look at you the same Could it all just be a game Maybe having a low-spirited dad Isn't all that bad Until the feelings begin all over again It's exactly the same kind of pain
