Sitting here all alone in a dark corner of the room
Living this life based on lies and truth
The darkness is my friend, it hides me when I cry
I don't see how you would never try
To comfort me in any way when I needed help
I can't handle the world by myself
That's why I need you here
To wipe away my salty tears
To hold me close
When I need you the most
But you don't care
You're just my imagination, a breath of fresh air

Happy and carefree by day, a fallen angel by night
You may think I'm always correct but I'm never right
You may assume that I'm protected and safe
But you're not the one with a sharp blade
You think I'm perfection
But I don't live up to everyone's expectations
Beneath the facade and fancy cliche
Is a girl's fear that chooses to stay
Being like this is a deadly sin
If you think I'm okay, think again

With every cut
Is a pain worth too much
With every shattered dream
Is a re-opened seam
With every worthy sacrifice,
my blood pays the price
This death-cold room is my shelter, my defense
I stare at the shiny silver for a little reassurance

Shut the door, Isolate me, Turn off the light
'cause I've already lost sight
I'm losing my grip
This curse is now my gift
I don't know whether to laugh or cry
Don't know whether to live or die

Don't try to understand why I need to bleed
This is all on me
Don't tell me my wounds will heal in time
'cause age is nothing but a number in my mind

As I pick up the blade and slit my wrist
I'm welcomed by death's kiss
