Hard Times

I just want to pierce it

Right through my skin

Feel the pain and blood

I know it is a sin



I thought my life was better,

I was completely wrong

I can hardly stand to live,

Life’s like the saddest song



I want to hurt myself,

For mistakes I didn’t make

I want to see the cut,

The pain I couldn’t take



I can’t stop myself from shaking,

The tears will barely come

Trying to hide my feelings,

My fucking life is dumb



I want to disappear

And never again return

I want people to feel,

The way that I now burn



For a second there was hope,

For a bit I had some life

Now I can’t even think,

Please cut me with a knife



All I want is tomorrow,

I know I’ll cry and cry

My friends will all hug me

Thinking, it’s just about that guy



Well really they don’t understand

The pain that I go through

I can’t believe my shitty life

I wish they fucking knew!
