Knives and pens cut through my paper skin I write and write and write You cut me open and bleed me out I cry but you don't seem to care Knives and pens cut through me My notebook holds my thoughts You shred it down without mercy I scream but you don't seem to hear Knives and pens cut through my paper skin I write a note, a cry for help You tear apart my hope I bleed but you don't seem to see Knives and pens cut through me The ink seeps through my sleeve The blood pours into pools I'm dying and you walk away Knives and pens cut through to my paper heart
