Still Falls the Rayn

Even though I’m the sacrifice,

You won’t try for me, not now.

Though I’d die to know you love me,

I’m all alone.

Isn’t someone missing me?

(Evanescence, “Missing”)


I do not want to be afraid

I do not want to die inside just to breathe in

I’m tired of feeling so numb

Relief exists I find it when

I am cut

I may seem crazy

Or painfully shy

And these scars wouldn’t be so hidden

If you would just look me in the eye

I feel alone here and cold here

Though I don’t want to die

But the only anesthetic that makes me feel anything kills inside

(Plumb, “Cut”)
