How can you say you know me
When you were just a chapter
In a book on endless pages
You thought you'd found the answers
But you only read the first few pages
Since then I've gone through changes
Found madness between the phases

You may have read the first few pages
But did you read the ones that faded
The ones I've locked away
Those long forgotten "some days"s

Did you read about the nights I've spent
Curled up in my bed
With my mind the greatest torment
And of how I didn't give consent
Did you read about how I'd hurt myself
Or did you "skip over" that?
When every breath I took
Was dying to be my last

How can you say you know me
When sometimes I struggle to
When all my bridges seem to collapse
And I don't know what to do
When I chant to the girl in the mirror
What makes you; you
When I fail an attempt
Yo give this grey world a hue
Please tell me what you think!
