Empty.. feeling numb inside,
These feelings are getting harder for me to hide.
Thoughts of self harm frequently run through my mind,
temptation of the blade i'm craving it like a cigarette.
Just a short fix because the pain i keep inside i can never forget.

I feel the blade rip through my skin,
Release the pain i feel from within.
I watch the blood run down my arm with tears in my eyes.
My body fills up with such despise and frustration as i take my anger out on another wall. So many thoughts inside my head racing,
bouncing around like a basketball.

But this will not be the end of me,
just like a pheonix I shall rise from the fall.
I'm going to fight my demons and conquer them all.
Maybe one day I'll break free, get away from this hell that's caused so much pain and misery.

See this depression keeps dragging me down,
but i will not give up and i refuse to drown.
Every time i fall I'll come back stronger than before.
One day I'll show these demons that I'm not scared of them anymore.
