Canvass

Water drips again...it rolls along the cracked lengths of my mind
Insecurity: a dying vision
The pointless ways in which i serve my need
Breaking down again
And the fragile twists of flesh lay bleeding
Im making out i'm dead..
Because i can't stand it when i'm breathing

The shadows rise, inside the depths
...and i awaken to another nightmare
The burning scream deep down inside me
Threatens to erupt in fire...

Don't let me die, with this thing still left inside
I dont think my mind could take it
Dont let me die, with my canvass standing dry
I need this out before it breaks me

Wringing out my veins upon the canvass
Set myself to fail, like a thousand times before
My ink runs sometimes cold..
...though, at pains i heat it
For theres life in death in life
..and theres no repeating..

Dont let me die, with this thing still left inside
I need it out before it breaks me
Dont let me die, with my canvass fading dry
While theres blood left in these veins ill spill it..

...so easily...
