| don't let me drown Bleeding on the Floor  Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 1106 | I see your face and you’re looking straight at me Lips in a smile, whispering I’ll always be there Words laced in lies and marking this tragedy But you keep on smiling, smiling that lie Did you see that memory dying in my eyes? The first time you told me you were going to die So sick of this life, believing these lies Just 16 years old and my heart breaking in two We’re kissing like children who don’t know what love is You’re all I had but now I don’t even have you So what’s left for me here? What’s left to miss? Death follows love like a servant of youth I’m not going to count down the days Lying in the darkness, wishing I didn’t know the truth My mind filled with images of heart shaped graves Sitting here, just waiting for you to phone Whilst bullets rain down from the night sky Nothing matters, expect you coming home A cursed beautiful boy only born to die Life’s not fair, it’s just not fair Screams, all I can hear is screams I wish I had never stopped and started to care The face isn’t smiling that haunts my dreams Just 16 years old and my hearts breaking in two We’re kissing like children who don’t know what love is You’re all I had but now I don’t even have you So what’s left for me here? What’s left to miss? Death follows love like a servant of youth I’m not going to count down the days Lying in the darkness, wishing I didn’t know the truth My mind filled with images of a heart shaped grave Pictures of blood soaking our skin Lie on our bed, where we used to sleep Thoughts of tears bleeding from your eyes Something I couldn’t even stand for a week You could have lied, should have lied Love doesn’t have conditions or restrictions In life and death it’s all the same A wrong look, creating frictions You walked straight in to the firing line Just 16 years old and my hearts breaking in two We’re kissing like children who don’t know what to do Thinking it would all work out and we would stay together I wish I had known then, that nothing lasts forever Nothing stays the same and everything changes Scenes from the past seem so overrated You don’t know the impact you have on this life You don’t understand that you’ve handed me this knife And asked me to end it all for you Just to prove to you that I love you, that I really do |

| don't let me drown Bleeding on the Floor Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 1106 | Dead-Break Tomb Decaying cheap red roses lay bare on your tomb Letting the deceit of your lies rot with your corpse Instead of being allowed to bloom. Everyone is wondering why they came When you meant nothing to anyone The living have long forgotten your name And the dead don’t tend to remember your face Life streaking into your deadened eyes As you voice all of your despise For the laughter in my lies And the fading remains of my old life Every word that you inflicted and every single lie Stained your betrayal on to my skin and mind Your own delusion enhancing your demise A fairy tale ending, the one no one wanted to see It has your blood soaking over the bedroom floor Washing over the screams and staining the rosemary Hanging around your neck marking your lost faith Life streaking into your deadened eyes As you voice all of your despise For the laughter in my lies And the fading remains of my old life Your ghost said he never loved me. Your eyes staring right in to mine Wrist slit but with no blood to bleed I’ll do all your dying for you If you’ll just say you love me. Just say you love me |
| don't let me drown Bleeding on the Floor Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 1106 | High school Romance you thought you’d left behind I’ll say I’m done with you That I’m through with all this pain But the second you turn from me My heart screams your name How can you not hear me? When you’re standing so close by Did you ever really see me? I can’t keep holding on to lies When there nothing more than lines No more than an apologetic. goodbye Lips burning through your heart Making you no longer mine Did she ask you to stay? Say I was just a waste of time? Your promises fading from your mind To the girl you left behind Stop thinking about me I’ve stopped thinking about you I can’t even picture you with me Just a plus of being through But I can hear the lies in your lungs And feel the burning in my chest As the tears stained my eyes You stood by and made me guess It was her lips tainting your skin Lips burning through your heart Making you no longer mine Did she ask you to stay? Say I was just a waste of time? Your promises fading from your mind To the girl you left behind She can loose herself For just a moment in your eyes Memorising your face Wishing it wasn’t goodbye She can fade away It’ll be like she was never there He won’t even notice Did he ever even care? Lips burning through your heart Making you no longer mine Did she ask you to stay? Say I was just a waste of time? Your promises fading from your mind To the girl you left behind |
| don't let me drown Bleeding on the Floor Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 1106 | The past still needs to know why Like the ink in the water The blood spreads in the snow All I wanted was a reason All I wanted was to know Exactly what I did to you To make you let me go My heart’s been beating your lies Since our last goodbye I just need to know... I just NEED to know.... So just drop me a line About why you had to go Watch through bloodshot eyes The stranger you can’t place Don’t you even remember me? Even though mines the same face You swore you loved so couldn’t wait My heart’s been beating your lies Since our last goodbye I just need to know... I just NEED to know.... So just drop me a line About why you had to go What I would give for your lies That you don’t want this to end That you wouldn’t just stand by As my heart faded away... My heart’s been beating your lies Since our last goodbye I just need to know... I just NEED to know.... Just NEED, NEED, NEED to know So just drop me a line About why you had to go |
| don't let me drown Bleeding on the Floor Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 1106 | This is our war Bullets cascade down from the sky Like the rain on your window pane Drown out the screams and teary eyes They fill up the long and empty silences With sounds of crashing and breaking glass That you blocked into a corner of your mind Footsteps sound and the screams won’t last So your left alone, crouched in the corner With only a prayer and a cheap guitar... The evidence will all decay Their voices will fade away This is our war This is our war... Lives on the line This is our war This is our war... But this is not our crime Drums of the heartbeats, beating into the night The comfort of life in the dreams of the dead Children waving to fathers who died in the fight Like dead autumn leaves in a storm Their waiting with welcoming arms opened wide No one left to care, no one to be left alive Standing helpless, with nowhere to hide From the bombs that rain down from the sky... The evidence will all decay Their voices will fade away This is our war This is our war... Lives on the line This is our war This is our war... But this is not our crime Hear the last breathes In the frozen silence of the night Like the wind tapping on your window All access being denied... |
| don't let me drown Bleeding on the Floor Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 1106 | Broken Angels The pain in your eyes cries what you don’t understand Who said I had to be the only one to let you down I tried so hard to fake my way in to your heart Tore the barricades down, but it tore us apart Blood seeping over the matching stars we bear Of their tainted distaste, that we are forced to wear Listen to the lullaby of screams, they tried to hide No one gets out; well no one gets out alive Please just force a smile I need to take this photograph We can paint it on after What kind of child can’t laugh? We need a family portrait But there are no families to use We’ll stick them back together With bullets for the glue We’ll watch the innocence play not hide With burning guns pressed to their sides Smiling with tears cascading down from their eyes With every scorching tear a child must die Playgrounds filled with angels with innocent hearts With rotting faces and unrecognisable marks Their holding hands, like there’s no one to blame But then who’s is the hate that burns in their veins? Please just force a smile I need to take this photograph We can paint it on after What kind of child can’t laugh? We need a family portrait But there are no families to use We’ll stick them back together With bullets for the glue We tried so hard to fake our way in to their heart Take out the “guardians”, so they can’t tear us apart Playing in playground filled with angels with broken wings Trapped in the tomb of the damned burning with everything Take everything we have, but keep your shame In the hole we’re your heart once was but now fuels our pain We can live through a thousand empty nights and dawns But in a holocaust death becomes your salvation and life your war. |
