Why can't I control myself? My mouth speaks words That I don't mean, That I shouldn't say Because its only going to Hurt me in the end. My dead eyes scream secrets That I try to hide- Reveal that I'm not okay When I try so hard to be. My legs shakily cry When there's a ringing in my ears Of past Crashes, Cries, Screams, That I cannot escape. My throat chokes me As I force myself to Ignore the urge to starve, Whispering cruel demands in my ear That I must follow. My restless mind Eats me alive, Every day a loosing battle That drains my blood So I'm nothing but: "Scars" "Fat" "Ugly" My hands destroy me When I'm strangled by The sinister hands of a shadows That grows bigger and bigger In preparation for my final decision, To disappear. I’m out of control

Control
Why can't I control myself? My mouth speaks words That I don't mean, That I shouldn't say Because its only going to Hurt me in the end. My dead eyes scream secrets That I try to hide- Reveal that I'm not okay When I try so hard to be. My legs shakily cry When there's a ringing in my ears Of past Crashes, Cries, Screams, That I cannot escape. My throat chokes me As I force myself to Ignore the urge to starve, Whispering cruel demands in my ear That I must follow. My restless mind Eats me alive, Every day a loosing battle That drains my blood So I'm nothing but: "Scars" "Fat" "Ugly" My hands destroy me When I'm strangled by The sinister hands of a shadows That grows bigger and bigger In preparation for my final decision, To disappear. I’m out of control
