Liquid Amber

Don't try to hold me

For I am broken glass

 

Don't try to...

Please, I beg you

For everyone who holds me

They will bleed

And bleed

And bleed

'til they're empty

 

Don't try to love me

For I'm the cyanide in a cookie

 

Don't try to...

Please, I beg you

For everyone who loves me

They will die

And be buried

And rot

'til they're gone

 

Don't try to talk to me

For I am destruction personified

 

Don't try to...

Please, I beg you

For everyone who talks to  me

They will fall

And curse

And srivel up in misery

'til they fall silent

 

Don't try to...

Please, I beg you

Let me be

All alone

And let me bleed, let me die, let me live alone
