All my wounds are open, bleeding
And yet still you can't see
So much paler and paler I'm getting
You're the death of me

I'm down on my knees
I cannot please
My blood is flowing
All over me

The last ounce drains from my soul
Typical of you not to realize
That for every one of the things you know
You never even saw past my eyes

I'm down on my knees
I cannot please
My blood is flowing
All over me

As the last pink tinge leaves my skin
I'm left as white as a ghost
Never thinking to just check in
Your soul's as white as snow

I'm down on my knees
I cannot please
My blood is flowing
All over me

Fading slowly as you look through me
Invisibility is my newest claim
The blood-red snow that's seen as dirty
Evaporates along with my name

I'm down on my knees
I cannot please
My blood is flowing
All over me
