Lyrics
FLESH WOUND
Music: From These Ashes ? Lyrics: Aaron Brown & Jason Potter
INTRO
VERSE 1:
The pain won?t end when her eyes fall shut
Dreams fade away and she?s so fed up
Of being rejected every time she turned around
Feeling alone nowhere to go but down - so
CHORUS:
SHE JUST SLIT HER WRIST
LET LIFE FLOW OUT AND DEATH FLOW IN
repeat
VERSE 2:
Kept to herself until the very end
Heart cold inside felt she had no friends
You all thought it was the perfect life
Until her arm felt the cold steel knife - yeah
CHORUS x 2
BRIDGE
VERSE 3:
Now that you have noticed all her pain
You try but you?ll never reach her again
Time?s run out and she?s too far gone
Life leaking from her veins it won?t be long
You all thought it was the perfect life
Until her arm felt the cold steel knife ? now she?s dying
CHORUS x 2
