Too Far

Now, maybe something has fallen through
I've waited too long
Walked these halls too far
Because I've discovered the scratches hidden deep beneath
The simple impurity of the so-called pure
I won't turn away, I won't give in, won't give away

Watched her crumble under the weight
of the thousand moons
Setting an eternal night
Seen him toss pins in the air
into sickened hearts
Bounce back to his eyes
Noticed them burn each other's souls
among the smiles
Ignoring their own ashes
Felt my heart crack
from these nightmares
Bleeding innocence so false – so corrupted.

Lie, I scream
Lie to me one more time!
Tell me it's all right
That it's okay
That she bleeds her own blood
And he stabs the weak
And they burn themselves
I must've looked too hard
Must've stayed too long
Walked too far
Because I've discovered the truth
And I will never believe in it again

This is very powerful. It  really offers a glance into your thoughts and feelings. This also remonds me of my bestfriends life right now, I am going to show this to her. I think she will find comfort in it, just how people find comfort in songs they can relate to.
