"Stitches"

Piece by piece

I have fallen apart

Once again

All because of you

It's nothing I'm not used to

I pull myself back together brand new

But my parts have worn out

Ragged and old

Who would want me now?

After constantly stitching back my soul

Pulling myself together

I won't stay forever

The sharp needle doesn't hurt

It should

But I've had worst

I'm your creation

You sow words into me

For some kind of humiliation

And I'm supposed to appreciate what you do

Bones begin to rust

Veins begin to bust

Hearts begin to burst

It all takes a turn for the worst

I'm not asking

It's more demanding

Get out of my head

This is madness

I've got to break your habit

Heal me

Strengthen my bones

My words

Are not left breathlessly

Mend the unraveling seams

There should be burning in my veins

Where I need to feel the energy

I know who I am

I know what I want

But down inside

Where I hide

You'll never find me alive
