Broken soul
Twisted thoughts run through my mind
Lullabies try to silence this screaming inside
Shattered wings, torn halo
I can't fly anymore
Losing grip
I can't hold on to what I'm searching for
Innocence is gone
All hope has flown away
This path I live on
I'm circling this road again
Everything is stolen
Shadows fall upon me
Blinding the sun that I long to see
Burying the pain, deeper
Down in the darkest place of me
Holding the rage
Hating the thing that brought me here
Missing every part of the old me
Even though he was naive
Even he knew when to leave
All I want to do is bleed
Bleed it out and never return to me
I'm stolen, just  broken

One day she'll leave everything;
the color-changing leaves,
the fallen snow she played in on
gray winter days,
the sun in her eyes as she tried to block it
with a thin white arm.
The mirrors will be gone,
no longer able to torment her with
her waistline, her ribs, her hipbones;
she won't feel hungry anymore,
only light-headed and full of air,
too afraid to say she's starving.
She'll walk away from
her mother, frail with worry;
her father, unable to speak his;
her best friend, always there with her
on the edge of it all.
And there he is,
holding her against his sweatshirt,
thinking it'll warm the cold inside her.
He doesn't know she's not there;
he's only holding her shell,
now hollow and empty
like her stomach.

We love to think we are fine
To live in an illusion of happiness

Something's beneath all that
I'm functioning properly,
I think...
At least to everyone else
At nights it comes out,
Or in.

I can feel everything inside collapse
nothing holding me together
no support beams, not even will.

The interior is deteriorating
Rotten beam by beam
the shell cracking.

It's only a matter of time
until the exterior crumbles
I need a shoulder to cry on but there is none.

Thinking too much it hurts
I feel dizzy and blind
Just too many thoughts
All inside my mind

I just get so confused
Some thoughts I cannot find
I have a giant scrapbook
All inside my mind

So many things to think about
Things evil and kind
I have so much stress
All inside my mind

All the thoughts holding me back
I feel slow and behind
Everything keeps building up
All inside my mind

But when I go to sleep
In my bed I am bind
That is the break I get
From the thoughts inside my mind

Keep your mask on
don't let them see
watch your scars
don't let them bleed
Keep a smile
don't let them know
your broken heart
don't let it show

Someday you'll cry for me
like I've cried for you
Someday you'll want me
like I wanted you
Someday you'll need me
like I needed you
Someday you'll love me
But I won't love you

It's painful to know that you meant everything to me and I meant nothing to you.

i'm the girl who tares herself apart
because she tries to find something she's missing

i'm the girl who is scared of her own mind
because i don't know how to control it

i'm the girl who used to cry herself to sleep
because i didn't know how to be "good enough"

i'm the girl who has a secret that will change everything

i'm the girl who gets stronger every fall

i'm the girl who makes jokes about things i really don't think are funny

i'm the girl who doesn't know what love feels like
but can give it to whoever needs it

i'm the girl who's more than an age

i'm more then what you think of me
