I Love to Write

"Bathe In Red"

You promised me the ending would be near
You would let me know when the time was clear
Never let me know when you've opened the door
Stab me in the dark, let me fade away

Memories that mutter of their time off in Hell
Scold you from the city spires
Life wasn't worth this torture
Or the crumpled paper it was written on

My life fills up this bloody tub
My heart now has a hole
And this dirty blade off to the side
Is what cut into my soul

I'll be bathed in red
I'll either live or die
I'll lay down to cry
Stare in my own eyes
Depressed and despised
And I'll take this knife and give it all my pain
And I'll take this knife and give it all away

Watch you as you douse the ceiling
Light up all my evil dreams
Til they ignite screaming into the sky
And I can pass away clean

Don't let me know when you're opening the door
Close me in the dark, let me disappear
Soon there'll be nothing left of me
Nothing left to escape.
