It's just a small cut,
It's just a harmless scar.
You don't know what goes through my mind,
When I'm alone in the dark.
It's just a deadly thought,
I'm just a forgotten memory,
Deep in my eyes,
My demons are all you can see.
It's just another night,
It's just my one last try,
If you're not here,
Might as well say goodbye.
Mommy, Mommy please don’t leave me here
Don’t you see the cuts?
Oh wait, no they disappeared

Daddy, Daddy why can’t you read the fear in my eyes?
No no, forget it
Just leave me alone with these lies

Brother, Brother you were supposed to protect me
Didn’t you hear my screams?
Don’t worry, nevermind, I’ll set you free

Sister, Sister I thought we were best friends
You missed my pain!
Oh well I guess all friendships are destined to end

Where was my family when they were needed?
Too busy dealing with **** that they missed my pleading
I wonder if now they see my tears
Hey there, Mommy! See! See! Those scars were real!
And Daddy, I’m so sorry to say
You won’t be seeing much in my eyes now from this day

Big brother, do your hear my cries now?
Funny how when you’re gone your voice suddenly becomes so loud
And sister I guess you realized it, ‘cause you forgot your boyfriend
That never happened when I was there, gee I wonder how long I’ll contend
What’s the big deal? You never cared when I was there
What’s the use now in all of those stupid prayers?

See I’m gone and I can’t come back
Dead is dead and now I’m lost in the black
But what I think is the most ****** up thing
Is how the darkness took me up under it’s wing
Now I’m at peace, wrapped up in it’s embrace
And you’re left here alone with the guilt you must face
Were all looking
                For the thing to fill the void

But nothing pleases us
Because we are human
  And we want everything
    We want the moon; and the stars too

But some of us are unfortunately unfortunate
And you.
You have all that you need
But you don't want it; or anything

     Because your smart
              And the world doesn't fool you
you knew my eyes
knew that they had been leaking, faulty, allowing my body to flood
with emotion
and then drain
messily, leaving black rivers to dry on my cheeks

but still, you shook me
with your anger
you allowed me to fill up again
but this time i burst
what
ever
gave you
the
right?
What is anxiety?

Anxiety is waking up in the middle of the night
Heart pounding
And senses spiking

Anxiety is walking out onto a cold balcony and staring down at a street full of taxi cabs,
And thinking,
"Should I jump...?"

Anxiety is full body shaking
And mind convulsing
While you're sitting completely still

Anxiety is standing in a full room
And feeling completely alone
And enclosed by an invisible box

Anxiety is the voice rising torture that fills your vocal cords and chokes you until you can't breath, and you're grasping at your lungs, trying to fill them with the air you can't seem to get
Anxiety is gasping, and gasping, and gasping
If you ask me what a hero is
Here is what I'd say
Batman, Spiderman, Superman
Or anyone in a cape

Flying through the sky
To protect the weak
Seeking out the bad guys
To help the people sleep

Ironman is great
And the Hulk is too
So many heroes to choose from
But then I met you

The man who plays Xbox
And curses when he speaks
Drinks more beer than water
And chews tobacco leaves

Flying through the sky
To the middle east
Seeking out the bad guys
To help the people sleep

A hero in every way
So courageous and strong
Combat boots and rifle
Always brave and carries on

There are no words to thank you
For all that you do
A hero who fights
For the Red White and Blue

Fighting for freedom
In the Middle East
Seeking out the bad guys
To help the people sleep
