Feed off my scabs, they're ripe and sweet
I keep them in this melody
My tender heart, my fraying skin, my rotting teeth
Take anything you want, as long as it's from me
I'm all or nothing and my wager is my time
Pockets are empty, I don't even know my prize
Head-deep in dreams, my desperate plea
Be my reality
And I'm so sick of always playing by the rules
'Cause all they've ever done is play me for a fool
Switch the game up, hope it won't replace me
These sweet soliloquies won't get me far
I wanna know if I can be the one
Would shooting stars above give me their love
Do they know that I'm here at all ?
Please say these dreams are made for me
Say I'm where I'm meant to be
Tell me I have what it takes
To let these feelings seep in pain
At least make it worth the heartbreak
If I'm late to what could've been my fate
Where else am I supposed to go
If no one's ever gonna love me again ?
Would you let me live on in catchy song ?
Do I have the right to go on ?
Please say these dreams are made for me
Say I'm where I'm meant to be
Tell me I have what it takes
To make the starving worth that day
At least make it worth the heartbreak
If I'm late to what could've been my fate
If all that blocks my heart is flesh
I'll tear it 'til you see within
And we find beauty in the red
Until there's beauty in my ribs
As long as what I make is art
I'll bleed through each and every line
If you'll find beauty while it pumps
If you'll find beauty when it dries
Try so hard to make it work
Writing lines I know will hurt, I
Try so hard to make it work
Pray somebody sees my worth, I
Try so hard to make it work
Stake my life on every word, I
Try so hard to make it work
Hope one day I'll find some way to make it worth the-
