Specks of red in a world of white
The one flaw that made her take flight
She was silent till the end
A message she could never send
Lips sewn shut, the needle thrown away
She needed to keep her thoughts at bay
A scared shrieking kind of laughter
She prays for death to come a little faster
Suffocating from all of her fears
Drowning in an ocean of tears
Blood is running the walls quite red
It isn't long now until she is dead
Insanity was yesterday's news
Numbing herself with an onflow of booze
Locked inside the corners of her mind
While the clocks are starting to wind
She sees them there, quietly ticking
And in the darkness she starts her picking
Peeling away the layers of pain
She was left to her doom out in the rain
The white scars across her wrist
Her heart is searching through a field of mist
Abondoned and alone
There's no more calls left on her phone
No heart, and a bloody valentine
Now this contract of death she must sign
To wash away her panic and fright
To take her forever into the dead of night
She has no faith and no prayer
She doesn't believe her life is fair
So she wallows in misery day after day
Giving her eyes to the devil for pay
She wants to leave, to escape but she can't
And in her straitjacket she starts to pant
She sees a light
Beautiful and bright
The only joy she has ever known
Coming to her when she's dead and alone
They cover her body with a blanket of black
Now she realizes there's no going back
Watching the masses fall down to weep
She didn't know, she was stiff and asleep
She realizes she had her love, and so
In the afterlife there's nowhere to go
