Drenched in the pain,
Drenched in the rain,
So drenched that it stains.
Though brutally slain,
I will rise again...

When my life seems unworthy,
and my soul something less,
I have no one to turn to,
My hands hold my chest,
Beating heart,
Beating heart,
Why do you hurt me so?
I turn to words to bleed the pain,
I write the words that heal the slain,

Everything is boiling over,
Its all coming to the brim,
I thought I could handle this pain,
But secretly the darkness was swept within,
its clinching my heart,
My beating heart,
Beating heart,
Beating heart,
Why do you hurt me so?
I turn to words to bleed the pain,
I turn to words to feel sane

My life feels unworthy,
Am I living just to die?
All the pain I feel inside...
Cant dry the tears that fall from my eyes,
Cant feel alive...
I want to be alive!
i want to win-everything,
But-
Beating heart,
Beating heart,
Stop hurting me so,
I don't want to write to bleed the pain,
I don't want to live my life like an ousted flame

Hey beating heart- the pain will subside,
you hurt me-I know the reasons why,
Beating heart-I know you feel slain,
But never forget you can rise again.
