Dying Inside

I'm breaking down; trying to break down the walls I made
I've shut myself into this empty tomb
And another tear tries to escape my lifeless body
But I have nothing left to give to you

I've made my cold hard bed, and now I must sleep in the needles
I think it's time to realize that this isn't going away
I've worn myself out trying to feel alive just one more time
But the dead wont rise in my story

And once again I feel the warm tears, running down my face
But upon touch I see my skin is dry
It seems these streams do not come from my eyes
But the tears are coming from my heart

My heart is bleeding and I can't shake this one off
I can't just ignore that I'm getting worse
My lungs are closing, but I can breathe just fine
But it's not living when you're dying inside
