Yesterday echoes
Caressing my skin
Blistered and beaten
Cold and biting
Grinding teeth on my own grave
Separated from the sun
Losing light
Ripping sutures from scars
Not yet healed over by time
I'm still trying to erase your name from my being
But I've carved it so deep into my marrow
That your spirit resonates
With every single breath I take
So bleed me dry in this ache of mine
And cut the ties that bind
My trembling hands
Losing grip and growing numb in the dark
I can't stay here anymore
I've grown content in my sacrifice
The architect of my demise
Holding hell in the palm of my hands
A razor blade's edge separates where I've been from who I am
Carved into me
Gripping my neck
I crossed out your name again
Thread my wounds together with your silver linings
And all the dreams you stole
Or let me bleed out what little hope I've held on to
I'll cut the ties that bind
