Crank

Flatline

I should've known from the beginning, I should've known from the start.
 The moment our innocent eyes locked, I knew the hour of heartbreak would dawn soon after.
And as the blood from my heart stains the sky we shared,
Only now can I feel all of the pain you've sponged for me.
I'm not sure if that's from these cuts, or from the stitches keeping this smile up.
I'm curious to know if the me I am now matches the broken one you tried to piece back together. I'm still incomplete.
Now you didn't fail, you just didn't put back the last part.
And loving that beautiful mind of yours, you know which one I'm talking about.
I've discovered that the worst feeling in the world aren't the truths I carve into my wrists.
It's knowing that you aren't needed.
That people don't need me to make their life worthwhile.
And as if I jinx it, my dreams faded, and no hope for me remained.
All you see are the shattered remains of what I once believed in.
The only thing that kept me alive each passing, dragging day.
Don't tell me things will get better.
I've heard that lie so many times now it seems now life Life wants to prove it wrong.
You don't know what these scars really are.
They're wires that tell this mindless drone how to suffer. I'll take all of these tears I've cried for you, and sprinkle the world with the dew.
Because only then, it will sparkle like we used to do.
