Smoke another one

To help the pain

Why won't this anxiety go away

I've been trying

But I keep on lying

Not just to myself but to everyone else

God why am I such a fucked up mess

Gotta get better

But it's getting even worse

I can't stop the voices in the back of my head

They wont go away

They won't stop

Why won't they go away

Drink one more

To forget it all

Wake up and do it all again

It helps the numbing feeling stay for good

I can't think

It helps me sleep

It blocks out the noises inside my mind

It's too loud

It won't stop

I need more

It makes me smile

Makes me laugh

Why am I this fucking bad

I don't want to feel anything

It helps me feel free

I don't want this feeling to ever leave

Pop another one

Almost empty bottle

Got a headache

Just one more

It won't hurt me

A few more won't kill me

It stops this shaky feeling

I can't seem to get enough

Empty bottle

Where'd they go

My last bit of sanity

It's tainted me

But I can't stop

I need more

Started out as something small

Could be mistaken as something done by the cat

But they got worse and deeper

Red crimson flowing so quick

My new favorite colour

So many scars already and adding more everyday

I'm used to the pain

Wrists, arms, waist, ankles, thighs, shoulders

Running out of space

So I gotta wait

Carving words into my skin

Worthless, disgusting, whore, useless

Not the art I should be doing

But it's so hard to stop

When I'm addicted to the pain

I don't want to stop

Makes me feel in control

Makes me feel so numb

I am so fucked up

Done all four

Still addicted to some

It's so hard to stop

The damage is done

Close to giving up

But I know I'll keep going

Am I stupid for doing so

Hell even I don't know

I'm fucked up

So messed up

Why the hell am I still here

I liked doing those things

I know they hurt me

Could kill me

But I didn't care

It felt good

Damn it felt so great

To have my life on the edge of the line

Call me insane, crazy, idiotic

So many more words

But you wouldn't get it

You don't know my reasons

But the world will keep spinning

With me still here

To go on another day

Stuck with hell to pay

But this is what life does to you

It fucks you up

Take it from me

I know it does
