Repetition

She lays in bed and wipes the tears From her eyes Her lips are raw and puffed up She plays her music really loudly So she can try and feel nothing. Sad and lonely She always seems so hollow and scared to Sleep afraid that she Won't wake up tomorrow. And what do you do? When no one listens to you And bruises turn to scars And you feel that hope is lost. The world is closing in And you're losing all your friends Feel so helpless because the war Inside is endless. No matter what you say How many times you proved You'd go that extra mile They never believed in you. Never good enough They wanna take away What made you And break you Down. And what do you do? When no one listens to you And bruises turn to scars And you feel that hope is lost. The world is closing in And you're losing all your friends Feel so helpless because the war Inside is endless. The dark and endless nights The knockdown drag out fights Countless screaming matches in Between the singing of lullibies. She has no more strength Its been taken all away She wants to run so far But it always ends the same. And what do you do? When no one listens to you And bruises turn to scars And you feel all hope is lost. Losing all your friends Drowning feeling helpless The war inside your mind Is endless. She puts her headphones in She plays her music way to loud So she can drown out the fighting Of her parents Going at it again now. Its happened so many times before She always ignored it until She found her mother Face down upon the floor. And what do you do?
