Angelica

from Monument by Drowning Room

lyrics

She cries tears that make her drown
A love life that buries her
She talks to walls that breathe and laugh
And none offer any comfort

She counts the days like a fuse burns
And waits for wounds to mend
The waiting leaves hateful scars in her
She cannot pretend

She treads through tears for one more day
He turns away as she burns
She screams at walls that know her name
Yet she remains unheard

Now it ends
She won't pretend
To smile for those who chose to ignore her
We cannot pretend

That we can wash this blood from our skin
Our silence cuts in the form of razors
She spells it out for every one of us
And we can never forget her words

"Anyone of you could have helped me" she cried
Words I hear long after she stopped bleeding
"Anyone of you could have saved me" she screamed
Words I hear long after she stopped breathing
