Broken promises

Destroy the bonds that keep me breathing
I no longer what to feel so down, like this
Struggle against every fibre of hurt
Want to escape, want to feel your touch, your kiss

Broken promises, I said that I wouldn't do it
Yet I keep on going back to my knife to find freedom
I'm trying yet I have not the strength to overcome
A locked door, in the fortress, depressions kingdom

As a view of myself in the distorted mirror floats into my sight
A single bead of blood rolls slowly along my pale skin
Ashamed to be runnig from all my problems
Finding my relief in your arms, in my cutting sin

A dream of a window, a turntable in my mind
Shadows of my past, buried deep within my eyes
Slip away from reality, revel in my own world
So no one can watch me breaking, watch me cry...

Broken promises, my heart is riddled with guilt
Spiral out of my hands, like a raven longing for a smile
Its broken feather, covered in decay and pain
Let me fly and smile, for just a little while
