Wither.

I am not the same Vacant stares across an empty room Hollow distances between me and you I watched as the moonlight dances across the fractures in her pale skin While I slowly decay in the silence Bend and break me into someone I never wanted to be Mould me and shape me, take what you need Take a piece of me each time you leave, until there's nothing left And I can't fight back We're not done here I told you that things would be fine But I lied, I've grown to love the pain A lot has changed this past year, but that's okay These things don't ever stay the same anyway It's slowly sinking in so I'll shed my fucking skin I'll shed my skin again The truth was right in front of me Pushing and pulling there's no end in sight for me Now let me tell you that I've lost friends, I've lost family I lost myself along the way if I ever had my time again I'd have have never stayed Pick up the remnants of my shattered mental state A lot has changed this past year, but that's okay These things don't ever stay the same anyway It's slowly sinking in so I'll shed my fucking skin I'll shed my skin again Wither away, I've never felt so alone Why could I not see it, it's not my home anymore
