To My Generation: Self-Mutilated
Let's play "Whose tragedy is worse"
Show me all your battle scars
The zones where your mind initiated war
Where you wrote "love" on your arms
And all you got was a t-shirt
Capitalizing on a loss of blood
Streaming consciousness
into status updates
crying wolf is still a call for help underneath it all.
We all lead a masochistic path
Pushed by a self-destructive past
Razors tracing the way
Mapping out the suffering
Spilling blood like divine ink
Writing a story
Just remember
it's not done
We are everything we thought we wouldn't be until we re-write our own history
They say time heals everything
But time is just another man-made
lie like reality
What if we're just addicted to being sad?
We get caught up in these negative thinking patterns
And never go back to count the blessings
Bad habits dying hard
Like a re-opened wound releasing endorphins
When something doesn't feel good anymore
or "no one cares about me anymore"
Think again
Yeah I get it you're broken
But we're all a little broken
It's not about ruminating on that missing piece/peace
It's about pulling yourself together
Find what's blocking the way and tear it down to size
Every hero story requires one last ordeal with the shadow
Exploit your demons
sleep with the
true
enemy
Don't devote yourself to a self-fulfilling prophecy
Learn to realize,
Life's one big
question
Death has no *answers
This is a battle cry.
