I know I can't help them
So why do you try
Why do you spend hours
Awake at night

Why do you tremble
Why do you scream
The pain isn't yours
It's not what it seems

You stand there alone
Starfish in hand
You try and and throw far
But it stays on the land

Your arm becomes sore
Your heart becomes tired
Even your conscious
Is no longer wired

You're breaking alone
Deathbeds begun
But everything's worth it
If I can save one
Inspiration from the story of the starfish. If you've never read it I highly recommend:

Mirror mirror on the wall
Reflect my sorrows reflect them all
And when I cry when I scream
Reflect the way I think of me

Mirror mirror on the wall
Reflect the way in which I fall
But catch my teary eyes in sight
My eyes of gold reflect the light

no no,
you misunderstand.
i don’t mean to hurt anyone.
i only want to hurt myself.

but that’s exactly my problem,
isn’t it?
i try to help everyone,
but they all end up hurt even more.
