“Blue Blood”

When you’re alone and the pain takes hold,

remembering things that shouldn’t have been told.

When you’re emerged in a lot of cold water,

crying because you’re considered a “bother”.

When your heartbeat seems to stop and freeze,

chilling your insides like an icy breeze.

When your body can’t take any more weight,

burdened so much that any more it’ll break.

When you’re so numb you can’t feel a thing,

suddenly happy it’s the end of your suffering.

When you’re free of life and free of sin,

soaring until you’re born again.
