Open the Wound

I'm not the type to drown my sorrow
Or to hope for a better tomorrow
I try to take life one day at a time
Even if reason doesn't fit the rhyme
All of the anger and hate I see
I see it reflected inside of me
So I break these mirrors and try to hide
I'll never let you see the monster inside

I wake at night and can't stop screaming
Only the words wash away the demons
So I put pen to paper and say goodbye
Cause one day these words will help me fly

Panic attacks have become the norm
Notebooks how I weather the storm
Word after word into line after line
Still look to the sky for a sign
Looking for a reason to hold on hope
I still only know one way to cope
I bleed through this pen, drop after drop
Knowing I'll die if I ever stop

I wake at night and can't stop screaming
Only the words wash away the demons
So I put pen to paper and say goodbye
Cause one day these words will help me fly

Open the wound, let the blood flow
Therapy, the only kind I know
Knowing one day I'll be fully drained
That's the day I'll go insane
Open the wound, the blood is spilled
Until every last page is filled
When the last drop hits between the lines
I can finally have some peace of mind

I wake at night and can't stop screaming
Only the words wash away the demons
I put pen to paper and I say goodbye
Cause one day these words will help me fly

I wake at night and I can't stop screaming
I wake at night and I can't stop screaming
