Scarred

If you could only see the pain

Scarred

Another day inside my head
Voices won't let me sleep
These demons are tearing me apart
Ripping my flesh from bone.

I dig a hole to hide,
Hide away from myself,
Mirrors are all shattered
Can't bear to look at me.

What would you do
If you could see my pain?
Would you turn away,
And let me fade?

The room keeps spinning around
My head's starting to split
This shit isn't working
I need to get high.

This pain is too much,
Too much for me to bear
I cannot feel my face,
Drowning in my misery.

The whole world disappears
I stand here alone
The needle stuck in my skin
Burns and tears at my flesh.

Pain shoots through my veins
Takes away all my sorrow
I stuff all this pain deep down,
Somewhere I can't find.

What would you do
If you could see my pain?
Would you turn away,
And let me fade?

All this damage I hide inside,
All the scars you'll never see,
The world is so ugly
It's so full of hope yet so full of shit.

I don't want to come down
Can't face this pain alone
Can't take any more of this,
I'm close to death as it is.

What would you do
If you could see my pain?
Would you turn away,
And let me fade.

Another day inside my head
Voices won't let me sleep
These demons are tearing me apart
Ripping my flesh from the bone.
