my blood runs thin
it's how i paint my skin
my blood always replenishes
my blood runs red
it helps to clear my head and my despair
always diminishes
my cuts run deep
they give everyone the creeps
my cuts, there's always room for more
these cuts, these scars
represent my memoirs
and help remind me of the times i can't ignore
and while everybody sleeps
my body slowly seeps
my body slowly seeps
this blood, a reminder of my kin
it's much thinner than my skin
and much thinner than water
my blood turns cold
it's one thing that's not controlled
by my father, my mother, or the church
and while everybody sleeps
my body slowly seeps
my body slowly seeps
and while everybody sleeps
my body slowly seeps
my body slowly seeps
my body slowly seeps
my body slowly seeps
my body slowly seeps
