step out of the bath
Incense and kitchen knives
Blood stains and soap bottles
Blow out the candles and step out of the bath
Remember the boy who took you away from this
Remember the boy who put you back here
Remember how scared you are to believe that happiness exists
Step out of the bath
Don’t give others the satisfaction of your destruction
Stand in silence and look at your flesh in the mirror
Notice that you are biting your hand without realizing
Wonder if you’re going insane
Wonder if you’re going to wake up from this dream
Wonder if your mind will ever let you stop having nightmares of him
Step out of the bath
Blow out the candles
Lay on the floor in the darkness mixing blood with water with tile
Cry because you’ll never be anything different
Cry because this is who you chose the be
Step out of the bath
Put on your clothes
Step outside carrying the candle of hope
