Why do you harass me?
What did I do to you?
I don't think I deserve this
From Year 8 to now I just kept pushing through

You worked me up quite a bit
Couldn't control myself and I felt like ****
They say try not to let it get to you
But they don't know what it's like to be in my shoes

Take a deep breath and count to ten
I'll be breathing just fine when you swing by your neck
And count to ten? Don't be ridiculous
I'll be counting down if you give me some half-decent explosives

Because I like explosions,
Like the flashing red dots right behind my eyelids
You're my target now, stand centre stage
And see the fear in your eyes as you feel my rage!
This kid at school, ******* him... hasn't left me alone once. Throws food at me, kicked my f*cking soccerball on the roof, and got it down like 20mins later... went to do it again, too. And before all this? Names, names, names. F*ck him

I'm sitting in the classroom
looking at the clock
watching it count-down
'till I can run off
out the classroom, out of this hell
over to my friends, where all is okay
here I'll stay
but only for 15 minutes
then I'll have to return
back to the cage
where time moves slow
back to the place
where I'm not sure that I do belong
So I'll just sit
and watch the clock count'down...

How much longer do you think I can withstand
the pain of being torn apart from the
inside out? The claws ripping into my
heart, piercing my soul, making this into
a nightmare; tear-stained wishes pouring as
love floods off my tongue, easy yet broken;
my mind running circles until the thoughts
make me dizzy and I fall; paralysed,
hypnotised, terrorised. How much longer
do you think I can cope with this hole in
my heart, the hole that can only be filled
by you? Let's count.
~~ We'll see how many fingers I get to before I break. ~~

Count to ten, then come find me
Tangled in the curtains, as always,
Trying to hold still.
I get so distracted by the birds out the window,
Shifting from branch to branch,
Always singing a new song, taking off
Whenever they please;
Sometimes, when nobody's looking,
I try to fly too, but of course,
I never land on my feet.
When I hear you laugh that you've found me,
I pull the curtains tight around my shoulders before I
Count to ten, then come find you.

And I thought I'd die of love
seeing you standing by the door
without knowing you could count on me for
Anything
**Everything

If I count
The drops
It makes it easier
To forget
Why
I'm doing this
I'm in pain either way.
At least I can control this.
