How many times can you tell a lie?
How many times can a part of you die?
How many times can you say good-bye?
To something that seemed so real in your mind.

How long does it take to kill the pain?
How long does it take to regain your name?
Or to find something sane?
When your world is chaos.

When will you allow your-self to forgive?
When will you allow your-self to live?
When will you know that you always were
More than these scars on your arms.
