These are the bruises you dealt
I’ve taken every punch
Through the years I have tried to abide
And leave the chaos behind

Don’t hold my hand. Do not come too near…I’ll crush your bones indeed
Don’t hold my hand. Do not come too near …you’ll learn it hurts to bleed

The guilt and anger remained
This is what held me down
In your shadow for way too long
I always thought I was wrong

Don’t hold my hand. Do not come too near…I’ll crush your bones indeed
Don’t hold my hand. Do not come too near …you’ll learn it hurts to bleed

Now for once I start anew
Building something without you
Something genuine and…
Leave me alone…out of my head
The oblivion within
Leave me alone
In my spine and through my skin
Out of my head
At the edge I’ll hold the line
Test me again, see if I care
Cross my domain, try if you dare…
