As vultures stalk the sky, waiting for their meal to die

I hide the victim in myself, afraid to put it on the shelf

Afraid of what others think, further inwards I sink

I was only masking the pain, showing no interest in what I could gain

Viciously reopening my wounds, stabbing at my past along with its ruins

this could be the end for me, inside I have found the enemy

I welcome its doubts with open arms, wall building is its charm

shut yourself off from me, close any thoughts of what could be

I licked it clean of evidence, and they have been studying it ever since

I parade around in this masking, a savior is all I am asking

fall down to mumble my concerns, and realize nothing is all I learn

Crack open this heart, its been trying to bleed, so let it start.

show my brokeness, how I've fallen for this, wrapped in a one man harness

So now it begins, you pretend to care, I will pull out the violins

we will sing of a sad song, oh how I could have been all wrong

at the end of the night, I see the lack of attention, as you leave in fright

I gave too much into it, its no wonder that you want to forget.

let me end what pain I placed in you, for my own heart is what i slew.

this is my escape get out of here, you watch my death with no fear

she is stronger than before, more than enough to close this door,

as this confrontation comes to an end, another part of me dies from within.
