Starving
My scars were open
Words were spoken
Like a sacrifice
My heart was broken
From the moment
You entered my life
My veins were screaming
For a needle
That could calm my night
My soul's deceiving
Made by cheating me
From what was right
If I would keel over
Would anyone cry?
If I could be sober
One day at a time
Before I get older
Before I go blind
If I could not mistake
My state of mind
I'm scared
That I'm still sleeping
Been pre-paired
With someone else's demon
So I'll stare
Till they're retreating
I won't regret
Protecting this moment
I was starting
To shake cause I'm starving
My brain was bleeding
Interceding
For a moment more
The stains receded
I was seated
On the bathroom floor
My lungs stopped breathing
I was reading
My own civil war
I hit the ceiling
Felt the feeling
Tell me what's in store
If I would keel over
Would anyone cry?
If I could be sober
One day at a time
Before I get older
Before I go blind
If I could not mistake
My state of mind
I'm scared
That I'm still sleeping
Been pre-paired
With someone else's demon
So I'll stare
Till they're retreating
I won't regret
Protecting this moment
I was starting
To shake cause I'm starving
If I'm treading water
Don't pull me under
But if go under
Could you reach me?
I'm starting to wonder
When this is over
All I know is
You're all I'll ever need
I'm scared
That I'm still sleeping
Been pre-paired
With someone else's demon
So I'll stare
Till they're retreating
I won't regret
Protecting this moment
I was starting
To shake cause I'm starving
I'm scared
That I'm still sleeping
Been pre-paired
With someone else's demon
So I'll stare
Till they're retreating
I won't regret
Protecting this moment
I was starting
To shake cause I'm starving
Words were spoken
Like a sacrifice
My heart was broken
From the moment
You entered my life
My veins were screaming
For a needle
That could calm my night
My soul's deceiving
Made by cheating me
From what was right
If I would keel over
Would anyone cry?
If I could be sober
One day at a time
Before I get older
Before I go blind
If I could not mistake
My state of mind
I'm scared
That I'm still sleeping
Been pre-paired
With someone else's demon
So I'll stare
Till they're retreating
I won't regret
Protecting this moment
I was starting
To shake cause I'm starving
My brain was bleeding

So I'll stare
Till they're retreating
I won't regret
Protecting this moment
I was starting
To shake cause I'm starving
