I opened the front door Covered from head to toe in blood The walls have turned grey There's no life here like there should Be something here to reignite the fire Without setting me off Maybe it's better if I burn it all down Start again in a new life
But I can't die, I'm cursed with this half life So I turn to a bottle for comfort And block out everything and everyone Because I don't wanna hurt anymore
No I don't want to hurt anyone anymore But I feel so
Scared of being alone Maybe that's what makes me lash out I can feel it there under my bones And it fills me with self doubt About the control I have over my actions And the consequence which come with them I let the stress boil up inside me But keep digging further down, I won't let it win
I can hear my neighbours fighting next door She's screaming at him For seeing someone else And that's when I hear the hit back The screaming turns to crying and I can't take it I put on a mask and went over, fist clenched and the rage fills me again I kick in the door and she screams He turns to a meeting of my fist and his face He hits the ground and my knuckles get smeared in blood as I start laying into him. She's screaming to stop but I can't, I can't control it. In the moment of pause he pleads through broken teeth of a broken man. I'm filled with disgust, and I stop and leave, closing the door behind me. I come in the back way to my apartment and she's sitting there, in a heavenly glow. I break down, removing my mask to let the tears flow. I drop to my knees staring at my hands. She sits silently watching me as I fumble with a cigarette, at least that can steady me. I ask through a cracked voice \"why do you haunt me?\" She sits silently as she watches me write in agony She asks, \"Jay, why do you let it consume you?\" And I say \"Shit Rachel, if you knew the shit I've been through\".
\"I just wanna feel something to fill the hole I dug when I lost you.\" I look up and she's gone, I'm alone again.
I'm scared of being alone Maybe that's what makes me lash out I can feel it there inside me And it fills me with self doubt About the control I have over my actions And the consequence which come with them I let the stress boil up inside me But keep digging further down, I won't let it win
She watches from the outside looking in, Feeling the same pain that he fills Wanting to be by his side ANd help him through the dark times She thinks back to the day where it all went wrong She knew it wasn't his fault at all But the actions he takes will lead to self destruction She can't bare to watch the conclusion...
