They Know
of course they know
I let them show
and now they know

They have to know
They asked and she showed
like it was something I was owed
Like I earned it from the show
so of course they know

I should know better than to show what I owe
so today i went to my brother's football practice with my mom and she saw my scars and asked what they where from and since I'm in color guard I said they where from Riffle work.  She then showed them off to her friend  as if it was a sign of my hard work.
"I'm fine" is how I say "I'm dying"
and if you take the time to see the lie
you'll find that I'm not fine.
"I'm just tired" is how I say "I'm a liar"
and if you can see through the fire
you'll see I'm a liar
and I'm not just tired
Most don't discovereth life
Until their death;
Most don't knoweth living
Until their last breathe.

Are you alive? Are you really alive?
you say that i'm strong
but you're wrong

you say i'm stronger than you
but i have given in one too
many times

i am weak
you are strong

i see you as strong
i see myself as weak

you see me as strong
you see yourself as weak
for a friend
quick!
change your costume
before they discover
what you really are
Time,
In all its beauty
Doesn't *wear

Instead,
It* abrades the  **soul

Screaming in pain
No ones listening
Echoing in my head
The agony that is
And people watch
And people see
But no one is listening
I feel my flesh taring
My soul breaking
Mind is rushing
To dark places
Calling for help
But no one sees
Or no one cares
This razor dances
Across the skin
Lines of red liberation
To let out the pain
Is this a cry for help
Or maybe my  only
Way out
Now I bleed
Maybe now they will
See me screaming
Been holding back alot of pain lately and it  all came out at once.
I don't cut never have but I can understand why people do
