It’s a lonely feeling, the feeling like you want to die It is not something you tell people, but something to hide Life is precious and exciting, but what a cruel lie For the things I’ve seen and been through is nothing to try I cut to release the pressure building inside It helps for a while, but comes back double in size The deeper the cut the more it goes But the deeper the cut, the more it flows The scars are not beautiful, they scream my desire If only I was brave enough to cut a little wider The blood will flow and cannot be stopped I will be free but at such a massive cost The black hole that sits in my soul Devours the life of happiness I’m told God does not love me God does not care Maybe I will feel more at home in the land of despair I’ll be accepted by the ones who have gone before me The cowards who have chosen the hanging tree Made for people who have done nothing but be I’ll suffer, but I won’t suffer alone I guess that’s better than being unknown…
