Another sleepless night begins as the blood slips past the torn flesh on my wrist
Another deep breath as I steady my hand and aim the blade carefully across the skin
Another stunningly blue vein torn for the sake of the plead for happiness
Another month full of long sleeves and transparent excuses that are growing old
Another faked smile and forced laugh that causes more pain than the blades
Another question I wish wasn't asked because I can't find the answers
Another night spent wide awake alone in my room with every mistake i've ever made playing on repeat
Another moment of seemingly collapsed lungs and sheer terror swallowing like a tidal wave
Another splinter in an already shattered heart inside a broken girl
Another bottle of pills that should've been locked up properly
Another note written but this time not crumpled and tossed
Another 'sad' kid written off as a lost cause
Another goodbye that will be forgotten come tomorrow

Another bottle of pills that should've been locked up properly
Another note written but this time not crumpled and tossed
Another 'sad' kid written off as a lost cause
Another goodbye that will be forgotten come tomorrow
