Tw: Self H*rm
I double guess myself, when you’re not around.
I need your voice to fall asleep, because of a secret you gave my soul to keep.
I hear her say “I don’t want to play that game”. The sound of her cries bring me back to mine.
The scars you’ve caused, will go deeper than her skin, reminding her that abusers always win.
Maybe she’ll turn out fine, or maybe she’ll continue the line.
Like an artist going mad from their own work. Never seeing something beautiful enough, so deeper she goes.
Another cut, another cut
They do say beauty comes from within, don’t they?

Another cut, another cut
They do say beauty comes from within, don’t they?
