Over and Done

I wish I could turn back time to before it all went wrong or to that time when I felt the ashes burning under my feet as I walked through hell

When I was trying to climb the stairs to heaven feeling the urge to see you once more

For I am only Frankenstein a monster created by man my past has made me who I am today not the nice person you see before you but the child of Dracula as some could say

You may wipe off my tears but you will never understand you may try to protect me but when you see my real self you will kill me once more just like you have before the fire from hell has burned me back to life now I walk on this filth of the earth again

The flames from underneath are still inside me the ice from above is struggling to take over I want it to but when I get good news the happiness gets burned

It seems so clear behind the wall but such a fear I cannot call I bleed when I cry not because of cutting but because I try to rip out my heart so that I could just forget So I could start over So I could turn back time
