Kiss me

Kill me

Bite me

Thrill me

Why do I cry

Tears of red

While you lie

In my bed

We both hang on

By a Thread

Hold my hand

As we kiss

Do you feel

My broken lips

They crack

and burn

and bleed

and turn

Everyone

Against my will

I hear you talk

I hate the way

You call me names

When I'm away

You think you're hiding

But you are not

I am more than

Just your thoughts

I am real

And I am here

Would you just, hold my beer?

Take a sip

If you'd like

But you might not

Make it out alive

Because you know

This is a game

You cannot win

You cannot save

So go ahead

Try again

Try to love

Try to win

Try so hard

Until you can't

Until you cry

Until you pant

Until your breathe

Subsides again

This is a game

You cannot win
