A tear rolls down her face
What a disgrace
She turns around
Blocking out every sound

But one breaks through
One she never knew
"What a weakling"
"Attention is all she's seeking"

As she walks away
She hears them say
"What a pathetic girl
In this beautiful world"

A cut on her wrists
Burns on her hips
She feels them stare
And she knows that no one cares

But he reaches out
Without a sound
Giving her a hug
Not treating her like a bug

"They don't know what they're saying
You're not insane
You're beautiful and kind
Just a girl with a broken mind

"Angels and demons
We're all human beings
Please don't go, my child
Just wait for a little while"

But that voice disappears
Leaving her with her fears
She falls into despair
Life really isn't fair

Her arms are scarred
Life's way too hard
Her hope is gone
It has been for so long

She becomes more distant
Less and less persistent
About showing her smile
That's been missing for a while

They begin to see
Who they caused her to be
But it's far too late
They destroyed her with their hate

She walks home one day
The sky gloomy and gray
She writes a few notes
Where is her hope

"They don't know what they're saying
You're not insane
You're beautiful and kind
Just a girl with a broken mind

Angels and demons
We're all human beings
Please don't go, my child
Just wait for a little while"

The kids are sat down
The teacher looks at the ground
"Another life was taken last night
The devil won another fight

"These are for you
For everyone in the room"
The kids open the notes
They broke her hope

Each note is different
They read in amazement
Their hearts filled with grief
Her life was so brief

One boy in the back of the class
Reads his with eyes glazed like glass
A voice in his heart
A voice that breaks him apart

"They didn't know what they were saying
She wasn't insane
She was beautiful and kind
She just had a broken mind

Angels and demons
They're all human beings
They took her smile
She couldn't wait a while"

The boy goes home that day
He doesn't know what to say
He was her best friend
It wasn't time for her life to end

He sits on his bed
And just holds his head
Tears fall down
He looks at the ground

"You were shattered
Like you've never been before
Words fell short in times like these
The world drove you to your knees"

He cries for awhile
He has no reason to smile
The one who gave so life worth
Is soon to be buried six feet below the earth

That night in the dark
He feels claws squeeze his heart
A spark is set ablaze
And he says this one phrase

"They didn't know what they were saying
She wasn't insane
She was beautiful and kind
She just had a broken mind

"Angels and demons
We're all human beings
And the world today
Is a messed up place..."
