I've tried to make choices in the past They always ended in downfall for my sanity And I can't do anything but repeat them because I love the feeling of lost control I love to cry To feel the tears streaming down my face I love that nobody knows just how scarred My stupid and thought out decisions Leave me in the end And it pains me to say that I'm addicted To this certain sadness I cannot live without this pain Because then I'd be boring Then I wouldn't understand other people's scars Whether the ones I see lining their wrists and thighs Or painted in the depth of their actions And as a mental killer I understand that the pain is more real for some people Than it is for others But it still exists in every person I've ever met Because nobody exists without that sliver of pain That they're addicted to That makes them normal
