We all have a friend

Who's silver and shines

It pierces our skin

And draws the red lines

It leaves several scars

Over the years

But it lets out our screams

As well as our fears

It gives us relief

We need the sensation

But we keep it a secret

We hate the attention

Those perfect red lines

They become such a burden

But we do it anyway

Because we're tired of hurting

Some call us psycho

But we know they're all wrong

They all know what to be

We don't know where we belong

We hide the scars

Under jackets and sleeves

Our loved ones don't know

The cuts stay unseen

We try to act fine

So no one'll know

But sometimes we slip

And the cracks begin to show
