I’m falling through the sky
As time quickly passes by
The blood ribbons fall from my wrists
My heart is aching and my stomach twists.

You think you know me, but you don't
You think you feel for me, but you won't
You have your world and your own life
And I have this darkness and a knife.

You're always smiling every day
I'm always crying the pain away
You pick me up when I fall
But throw me down when I can't handle it all.

I'm the sinner, you're the saint
You cover mistakes, with white paint
But my mistakes can't seem to hide
Because my words are colored tie-dye.

You think you're cool, but you're not
You think I'm stupid, but I’m really caught
Caught in the tide of the sea
The sea of emotion, but you won't carry me.

You make me feel like I am dead
But I still bleed the color red
Why does my heart ache like this so?
Because you're my mother, and I can't tell you to go.
