I'm breathing in acid rain

And choking on cigarette smoke

My hair is made up of guitar strings that you played for me

And my voice is an echo of the songs you sang for me

But these tears are the story of the times your voice was nails on a chalkboard

And my eyes are the example of a person who was once and angel

And how he turned to a demon

And how sharp his teeth were once they sank into my neck

And slowly sucked the blood from my veins but I let him because he said he was running low

When he needed blood I cut my wrist

And when I was weak he faded

And the sounds of bat wings flutter in my ears

And I'm dying

I'm bleeding from my veins

My wrists are bruised

And my soul is putrid from the stench of liquor and drunken sex

But I was the only one drunk

And I remember how vacant you were in your eyes

How you shrugged it off

And it ate me up inside

God, I let you just sink your teeth in

And you went with fives from a light that shown in the darkness

And their smiles weren't blank to you as you kissed them through your phone screen

And how you told her you loved her while you still missed me

And you kept her letters when she was long gone

And threw a fit about how they were nothing

We stayed up all night with the truth stuck in our throats;

You told me how you missed her flow

And your mind changed as quickly as Alice,

I was the one being crazy

And the ticking clock deterred the meaning

Amethyst is your favorite stone

Wal-Mart is your favorite store

Burger king is your favorite place to eat

And my heart was your favorite place to scream
