• the burning and the pain
    tells me I'm alive
    tells me that you're here with me
    tells me you've arrived

    the heat of the pain
    makes life seem so real
    makes the hurt of the world
    crumble at my heels

    the cuts and the bruises
    the blisters and the scars
    forces me to forget
    how very far you are

    but no matter where you may be
    i hope you think of me
    because this bloody hue
    makes me think of you
