CRYSTAL * TO * CRIMSON

The rain falls on my roof
And I run out the door
Screaming, shouting..silently
But still my voice is sore

People say they love the rain
Because it hides their tears
Does this mean they are cowardly..
Hiding from their fears?

I'm smart, I keep my problems in
I don't cut or want to die
I simply sit, curled in a ball
...And cry, and cry, and cry

Unlike some, I can control
The pain I've never said
So I sit in a pool of crystal tears
Instead of crimson red

Time goes by, I feel more pain
I cannot keep it in
I find my sacred razor blade
And erase my every sin

Cold metal slides across my wrist
A tear falls from my eye
You're the reason that I bleed
The reason that I cry

A burning sensation shoots through my arm
Tears, they soak my face
And when I scream so silently
I feel like a disgrace

Now like most I can't control
The pain I've never said
So I leave my pool of crystal tears
And drown in crimson red
