Fake Blood

Bleed into yesterday
A scene in retrograde
Fake apologies will never clean the mess you made
Weathered down and spent
You trace around the dents

Scratch a message in the side to not resuscitate
Sullen eyes, your skies are empty
There's no saving you
Life and death between your breath
And barely breaking through
So precariously teetering
Between while in the waiting room
Praying for relief to

Break the skin and suffocate the pain
The second stretches into days
Fake blood is flowing through
Fake blood is flowing through your veins

You want a second chance
Extend an olive branch
Holding grudges like the gun
That's in your other hand
Leave you in the past

The point of where you're at, is one-dimensional
Left up to circumstance
Trust is fraying at the ends
It's nothing new to me
Start to pick apart the husk
Of who you used to be

Rose-colored glasses reading
Off a teleprompter like a eulogy
Collected and fluently
Debased and faceless
Fade and corrode
Sway back and forth
Forget that you're broken

Bleed into yesterday
A scene in retrograde
Fake apologies

Break the skin and suffocate the pain
The second stretches into days
Fake blood is flowing through
Fake blood is flowing through
Fake blood is flowing through your veins
