The Tender Injustice

Do you really think that it would matter if I let myself die?
Don’t I deserve it?
Keep my soul locked in a cold tin box
The key is melted, I take the blame
The devil swallows us on burnt and neon signs
But I’m lost, just cut me open
Let me kill and spill the tainted blood
That is poisoning the drenched soil

The keeper of this mind won’t ever let me in
Stares blankly waiting to kill me again
The keeper of this heart has riddled me with sin
Take what’s left of the innocence within

Wings are broken, I fly in circles
My spirit’s willing and the body’s good
About this bleeding of the place that I change
Heart attacks us to take the blame
Forever never breaks the coffin, no
Tears are escaping
Please nail it shut
Do you really think that it would matter if I let myself die?
Don’t I deserve it?
Once more before I go, let me die in peace, don’t I deserve it?
