a piece i did for a mixed manipulation contest on www.pxleyes.com


"The Last Song I'm Wasting On You" by Evanescence

"Sparkling grey,
They're my own veins.
Any more than a whisper,
Any sudden movement of my heart.
And I know, I know I'll have to watch them pass away

Just get through this day

Give up your way, you could be anything,
Give up my way, and lose myself, not today
That's too much guilt to pay

Sickened in the sun
You dare tell me you love me
But you held me down and screamed you wanted me to die
Honey you know, you know I'd never hurt you that way

You're just so pretty in your pain

Give up my way, and I could be anything
I'll make my own way
Without your senseless hate... hate... hate... hate.

So run, run, run
And hate me, if it feels good.
I can't hear your screams anymore

You lied to me
But I'm older now
And I'm not buying baby

Demanding my response
Don't bother breaking the door down
I found my way out

And you'll never hurt me again. "

This piece isn't meant to be offensive. A while back, pxl held an anorexia contest, which i found to be incredibly underappreciated. There were so many avenues and possibilities around that contest. I decided to take that "theme" and add my personal touch to it. This is meant for all the SURVIVORS of anorexia. and the words of the song i chose seem to describe the feeling i was trying to portray with my image.

Comments are appreciated, however, i would appreciate constructive thoughts, not destructive opinions on the actual disease, as it is not consequential to the outcome of this piece.
