Tick* goes the clock
I think a thousand thoughts
Before it can chime tock

Don't smoke, I thought you stopped
Don't be sad, I know you're not
Don't cut , or at least, not a lot

Tick says the clock.

Three seconds have gone by
"Is the day over?" I sigh
I can't last but I'll try
Eight cuts on my thigh

tock chimes the clock

My lungs, they burn
My brain begins to yearn
I won't give in, I'll live and learn

TICK yells the clock

Time is so loud and slow
I can't take much more
I need help but you'll never know

TOCK! The clock screams

It's in my brain
I can't shake it loose
I'm losing my rhyme
My speech becomes uncouth

TICK

There are voices in the background
I cannot abide them
I hate it, I hate sounds

TOCK

Just one cut
Won't be too much
Right? Right!?

tick...

And the vertigo recedes
Suddenly, I can think
And time doesn't pass slowly

tock...

Perhaps I shall smoke
Until I die
And at my funeral, no one will cry

Tick...

The day's almost over
I've done pitiful little
Yet my nerves are run brittle

Tock

"Not again!" I beg
I can't take this
And, looking at my knife,
I am hopeless

tick-tock Tick-Tock TICK-TOCK *TICK-TOCK!

This is my box
Stay far away
You don't fit in here

You look different
You speak different
You don't fear what we fear.

Find another box
One that fits you
A box with people like you

I have friends in other boxes
Please don't tell
They're different, and they're weird too

I like them anyway
But I can't really get close
Because their boxes aren't near.

I wish I could leave
My box sometimes
But I can't break the fear

Little sticks
So deadly
Grey in the air
So pure
Mind so focused
Unfocused
Little sticks
Of death
I'm flying
Orange stick
I crash
Red tipped
I inhale
Little sticks of death

Twisting my words
Though I know you heard
Exactly what I said
That's not what I meant

Around in circles
We can't understand
You heard what I said
And that's not what I meant

I don't philosophy
You heard what I said
What don't you get?
I said exactly what I meant

Daddy Dearest
With your fingers 'round my neck
Daddy Dearest
The definition of a wreck
Daddy Dearest

Daddy, Daddy
Did you know I want you dead?
Daddy, Daddy
Did you know I've tried to **** myself?
Daddy, Daddy

Daddy Dearest
It's my turn to beat you up
Daddy Dearest
Isn't that how you show 'love'?
Daddy Dearest

Daddy, Daddy
It's my turn to fling you down the stairs
Daddy, Daddy
We've got to play this game fair
Daddy, Daddy

Daddy Dearest
It's your turn to slice your veins
Daddy Dearest
It's your turn to go insane
Daddy Dearest

Daddy, Daddy
It's my turn to tell you you're worthless
Daddy, Daddy
It's my turn to tell you you're useless
Daddy, Daddy

Daddy Dearest
It's my turn to tell you how much I hate you
Daddy Dearest
It's my turn to put down what you look up to
Daddy Dearest

Daddy, Daddy
It's my turn to **** your cat
Daddy, Daddy
It's my turn to watch you cry whilst I laugh
Daddy, Daddy

Daddy Dearest
Do you see what you've done?
Daddy Dearest
The monster has always won
Daddy Dearest

I'm an emotional roller-coaster
But you'd never be able to tell
Underneath the calm exterior
I'm in a living Hell

Where up is down
And down is downer
Where high is low
And low is lower

The cup's half-empty
Or is it half-full?
Is life pushing me low
Or is that death's pull?

'Smile' they told me
Smile I did
'Laugh' they commanded
I've been laughing ever since

Does this smile make you happy?
Am I good enough yet?
Is my laugh contagious?
Can you see my regrets?

I smile when I'm up
I smile when I'm down
It's a sure symptom
Of someone easily pushed around

I'm up, I'm happy
(I'm not, I'm not)
I'm down, I'm happy
(I hope you all rot)
