Alive? (bit dark too)

by Jemma   Apr 16, 2006


I'm locked here, draining in the fear and the anger
Chained to the truth and drowning in lies
Knowledge that keeps burning my mind
Bullets keep finding their target and my heart is beaten

Alone in my prison cell, handcuffs lie forgotten
There's no need to restrain me when my will is gone
Lost with you when my heart was broken in two
Inevitably, so slowly and I grudgingly can't let go

One too many knives flying through the dark
There needed only to be that one as it found you
And so it found me and I was helpless to the pain
Drawn and weary from missing you

I miss you now, you know, even though I saw you but yesterday
A day can last a lifetime and today is old and tainted
Crimson red from the blood we spilled
And I'm still bleeding as I'm caught in a web of deceit

I know you were the truth, my only source of light
The candle in the dark, the one I could trust
And for it I'm condemned because I can't leave you behind
My heart is aching and my hands keep reaching out for you

The ice keeps stabbing me when I know you're not here
I'm alone, forever and for always, alone and lonely
Walking forsaken footpaths I'd have loved together
But they're deathly quiet but for my breath
My only reminder I'm alive
