Show me

Take this heart of mine
Soak it in your blood
Paint me with all of your sorrow
Submerge me in your anguish
Until I become at one with
The hurt that consumes your soul
Make me into the image of your scars
So I can understand you better
Because I want to know what it's like
I used to want to help you
But now I don't know how to
Instead I'm losing my way in life

So I want you to show me how to be
Everything that you are
I want you to help me see
How it feels to take it too far
I want to forget about caring
Yeah I just want to be free
I know even you aren't quite there
But at least you do it less than me

Composed emotion
Shutting off the switch
Yeah I can do that part
But it always seems to stick around
It comes to hang out with me
When I'm alone in the dark
But you, you can make it disappear
And hardly waste a single tear
You know how to just stop it
You say it's good to have hope left
And you don't want me to lose focus
But I don't see how this is the better option

Maybe you're right and I should just give it time
But it's hard to see a real point in that
Whenever I give out this emotion of mine
I never seem to get anything back
And it's hard to know how much more I can take
And how much more I'm willing to go through
So much pain too many mistakes
Now I'm in need of something new

So why don't you give me a clue
And show me the things you do
Just for a while
