Pressure Release

Peel back the scabs

Let the flood gates open

Wounds that never heal

Bleeding out

The pain awoken

Pour the salt in my wounds

Just to feel the bitter sting

Love is but a memory

Happiness no longer sings

Sitting in the mirror

To watch myself bleed

Do whatever that is necessary

To force out the screams

I see your smile in the distance

Filling me with hate

The way you sat there afterwards

Like everything's okay

I can see that fallen tree

With the stains upon the bark

Lighting up a rage fueled fire

Tearing open another scar

I can feel the rusty blades

Slicing in my skin

I can feel every break

Everytime I tried to mend

All of the pills

All of the shame

I tried to swallow all the same

All of the ropes

I got loose

Just to tie another noose

I pass through the memories

Of traumas past

My histories

When it all builds up

When it gets too much

I have to feel it

I have to touch

When the pressure gauge

Hits critical

I have to feel it

To let it go

Release the pressure

With unnatural screams

To bring the gauge

Back in to green

So when the pressure

Gets too hard

And you hear me screaming

From afar

Don't you worry

It's just release

I'll be okay

The screams will ease
