Wrapping the blanket around your heart,
Feeling the chill
Set into your bones.
Hear the sobbing,
Is it coming from you or someone else?
Feel your stomach tighten up...
Don't pay attention to the blade marks
Upon your skin.
Don't sob over it baby girl.
It is life...
Right?
It's normal to feel empty,
It's normal to cry yourself to sleep.
Watch as everyone around you hurts,
Blame yourself,
Cause that's what they seem to want you to do.
Slave and become something you aren't for them.
Strive,
Just to fail.
Reach for the stars,
Just to fall down and be swallowed up by hell.
