Forgetting leads to fighting then to fucking


You scream and shout, and even laugh 
Laughing is just like crying, come on just move on 
Sounds of children calling on as they cut through the rye 
My head gets filled up with fear and it feels like my soul is falling 
But now you are racking your hands down mine 
My crimson blood running down my arm, looks like redskin 
I can’t keep holding on 
Because my hand is feeling your face, but you’re looking away   
I curse myself and just you let on, because you hate to lose control 
Over everything, though I'm only strong in your crudeness 
Let those painful tears run down your face now 
What happens when blood mixes with tears, can they even come together 
If it was too strong, would you just try to make me forget who we were 
I couldn't stick to what you had me promise you 
I wake up now, with a silhouette next to me, I have forgotten what the past was like 
Every step away from me, I can see a little more of you, but there's something in your eyes 
It looks like red tears running down your face, and now you can't see anymore 
If so, where will your path take you if you refuse to forget  
If so, how can anyone help you if won't stop fighting
