This is nothing I haven't felt before,
Simply a trigger behind a corridor
To be pulled behind walls and pillars,
Never known of the true killer.
Pain brought upon from the unknown,
Despair fallen into the light that wasn't shown
Loneliness eats away at my heart
And slowly, I fall apart
Tears fall and stream, tears fall,
And I scream.
It's nothing new to me, but it hurts more every time
A nickel is bigger but worth less, nothing to the dime
The true killer and culprit of the pain cause unto I
Isn't hard to figure out, they're there when I cry
The veins, the scars, the darkness afar
The cause of my pain is no question,
Of course others have helped and shot
But to myself, hiding and numbness I've taught
It is myself that brings the pain
Though nothing ever hurts the same.
It's nothing I haven't felt before,
But every time it's felt,
More and more pain is dealt.
