In order to fall asleep

I'm surprised, by what I let slip

"I want to cut my tongue open, and watch the blood drip."

Something here is incredibly wrong,

 

We're the same person, I swear,

but we're total opposites, like an oxymoron

or trying to read through a mirror.

Like that ***** at my school who died from an overdose of oxycotton."

She said so matter of factly.

As a matter of fact, his funeral was today.

 

I wonder who has lives outside of this one,

and what other worlds are like

I wonder if you notice coffee's bitter taste

I wonder where his is, and his stupid talent thats going to waste

 

When you lose your glasses, its harder to see

and when you lose your thoughts, its harder to be.

We only notice the problems of others, if we've been there ourselves

The only ones who notice, are the ones who understand.

But if you keep quiet, they won't cut you by the wrist

or take you by the hand.

 

"what does domestic violence mean to you?"

He said: "they don't fuckin' listen" and

I wanted to punch him in the mouth.

Jaded or not, I'm not going to like you,

as much as I thought I would.

 

If you know the answer, then the question is never good.

Don't mettle in things, if you don't think he should

Full Force Frontal Banger.

Oh, to fly..

More than a fender ****** to slap the face of the sky.

 

Its a simple wish, to cut my insides out,

and watch them squirm like worms for fish

For an answer you know you don't want to hear

The sounds of a head on collision, and the wind in your ear.

 

If you want to fall asleep, darling, you've got to close your eyes.
