Late at night I can feel the emptiness
Close my eyes for a second, and there it is
Slowly killing me on the inside
It's everywhere; I can't hide

I'm running from something invisible
I tried to **** it but its invincible
When its shadow claws reach out for me
I cannot breath easily

My silent screams
Are worse than bad dreams
It's tearing me to pieces
It's desire to hurt never ceases

I avoid looking in the mirror
Because then I can see it coming nearer
Even the comforting sound of rain
Could never take away this pain

When night falls
the suns last rays are too soon forgotten
and the temperature drops
just like my heartbeat

Smiles quickly turn into tears
unspoken words and broken promises
the streets are almost as empty as I am

Try to drown out everything but the sound of the rain
loneliness is my only real best friend
my thoughts are darker than the night sky
and I wonder if I'm still alive

Cut my arms but I still can't feel
maybe reality is the dream
dead but breathing
I'm the ghost of the person I used to be

Wrapped in a blanket of sadness
my tears have become all too familiar
the rain sings me a lullaby
and I pray to never wake up again under this long dead sky

You bring the blade onto the cold surface of your skin
Drag it across
Just one more cut
Blood slowly dripping
drips off your arm and onto the floor
You start to cry
tears distorting your vision
screaming on the inside
Why wont it end
The pain hasn't gone
Another cut should do it
Why wont the pain leave
Maybe the only way to end then pain
is to end me.

I won’t eat
I will starve
I won’t talk but listen
I will cut but
I won’t let the pain show
I will wear black to hide it
I won’t make fuss of my crying
I will hide my tears
I won’t let them know of my pain
I will let then hurt me but
I won’t let them in
I will stand alone

Because in the end, I will use a knife to end my pain, to forget all the hurt I had been throw, all tears I had hidden, all the black I had worn will represent my dark side, all the unspoken words will be heard by those few who care, I’m starving pointless but will have affect, my standing alone will prove that one can stand against the world ALONE

I am lost soul
No where to go
Darkness all around
Like the cuts on my skin
The blade sits before me mocking me
i need it i want it
i long to see my skin swell and bleed
i slowly take the blade
First cut will be my last
As i cut into my vein
My blood drips
i dont scream or cry
My Final Cut kills me tonight

That's where I dream

The blood of my heart bleeds dark
My soul is the mark
The pain I feel is deep
Death is steep

That's where I dream

I got a bottle of pills
It gives me the thrills
I got a gun to my head
I say "Go Ahead"

That's where I dream

I'm in pain
My mind drains
I silently scream

Because I realize now...
It's not just a dream
