Dissolved

It’s all wrong
It gets harder every time you try to flay
This scarred and thickened hide
Or you’re just dulling the blade
Should I cry for all the things that you say
You don’t like about me
Would that really make you feel so much better?

I won't dissolve

How many times must I pay for this
You exploit my weaknesses as a weapon
I'm better off alone
And so you

Decide! Decide!
Am I okay? Am I being me right?
A thought that never crossed my mind

So cut and dry
My skin it, it crawls at the sight
It won’t stop me this time

Within I will not suffer
My blood to acid, it would hollow me away
But I can’t stay blind If when I close my eyes
That's when I see me
My conscience, my pride, my sudden thoughts of you

Decide! Decide!
Am I okay? Am I being me right?
A thought that never crossed my mind

So cut and dry
My skin it, it crawls at the sight
It won’t stop me this time

I will not bleed

It’s my bloodletting
With my own knife
I’ll cut from the masses
What’s left is mine

Within I will not dissolve
Within I will not bleed
Without I form my resolve
You won’t make me bleed

Decide! Decide!
Am I okay? Am I being me right?
A thought that never crossed my mind

So cut and dry
My skin it, it crawls at the sight
It won’t stop me this time
