Another Way

Another way

You're so sick of creating new scars everyday.
You can't help but wonder "Is there another way?"
Another way to say all you've held inside without the use of words
Or the slash of a blade because you wish to fade, to fade away from those
Who'd rather hide than be saved, saved from themselves and all this self hate

To fade from those who give themselves so easy, like products on a shelf
You don't wanna be part of it but you don't want to bring another blade to your wrist
"Just try to fit in" but you're a kind heart, lost in a world of sin
So how can you escape such hate? Is this truely meant to be your fate?
You can't help but wonder "Is there another way?"
Another way to say all you've held inside without the use of words
Or the slash of a blade because you wish to fade

But here you are again watching the red flow in it's finest shade
You look out the window up to the moon you say
"Can it be over soon?"
It seems you're done, you load the gun you count down
3........2..........1........
Finger on the trigger you hesitate, you're so scared
"What's on the other side"

You know this won't slide with those who lied about being your guide
In a world of sin, but where have they been?
When you cried all night hidden from everyone in sight
You throw the gun down mouth still in a frown
Eyes closing, now you drown in so many tears held back for so many years
You realize it's not worth it right now
Too young, too dumb, come on now you're a fighter
Let your light grow brighter, now you say
"There is another way"
You don't have to fade or use the blade
Never again you just gotta try
So you don't have to say goodbye
