Sing me to sleep
Till I’m pale and white
Drain the pain and sorrow away
That have become my life
I’m drowning in my misery
Lost in depression
These blades are my secret
My only protection
From reality setting in too deep
Shrouding me in darkness
As I lie in bed and weep
Life should be better,
I should be perfect
What’s the point in getting better
If no one thinks I’m worth it?
Tell me I’m stupid for doing this to myself
Or that I’m just plain crazy and you won’t give me any help
But all the words in the world still won’t make you see
All the pain and all the sorrow
That makes me think I’ll die tomorrow
The shine of the blade is my only friend
The red blood colors my life
It’s the only thing that slightly halts
My never ending strife
Why can’t I just be happy and have a release that works for me?
Daddy if you looked closer you’d know
I’m not the girl I pretend to be.
