tear away this skin
rip open old wounds
and look within

my heart
is it still beating?
I must be alive
for I am still bleeding

make me feel
even if it is pain
do not let my life
be in vain

unzip my flesh
tear away this skin
do you see a soul
or only sin?

my heart
is it still beating?
or does it house
emptyness breeding?

make me feel
even if it is pain
so much more to lose
and I fear nothing to gain...
