She lies beneath the earth
As I search for reasons why
It hurts deeper than she’s buried.
I’ll never get what I’m searching for
In the arms of strangers.
Then why am I still searching?

I can see veins of blue
Wonder if I can puncture through
How deep is this skin I’m living in?
I break my void to think of you
Disappointed grin and a small fuse
As you take the blade from my hands

Worry myself over
If she is lonely there
Wherever she may be
I keep myself alone at night
Worrying about insects crawling
Through her teeth

I can see veins of blue
I wonder what she’s going through
How deep is the skin we’re living in?
Feels empty when I think of you
Disappointed grin and a small fuse
Pierce the blade through my hand

She speaks to me
In broken sentences
She tells me to do unspeakable things
And I can’t sleep through all the whispers
And thoughts of her rotting beneath me

I can see veins of blue
I wonder what she’s going through
How deep is the skin we’re living in?
Oh it feels empty when I think of you
Disappointed grin and a small fuse
Pierce the blade right through my hands.
