Ignorance Is Bliss
Stuck in my head, lost in these thoughts
Thinking of the past and battles I've fought
I'm too far gone so I'll say so long
Doing right can't make up for the wrongs
I'm trying to forget constantly and honestly,
Honesty makes it harder to cope
Hanging by a thread of this rope called hope
My parents are always fighting, I'm not saying that to complain
I just want to enlighten you to some of my pain
If they don't care then I won't either
Feels like I'm playing a game of follow the leader
And to my friends who claimed they'd always be here?
Why, you're farther away now then you ever were near
I get it though, you've your own problems, own mistakes
Turns out all your other so called "friends" turned out to be fakes
You don't like yourself so you're trying to change
I'm not judging though, I also am to blame
Maybe that's why I'm sitting on my bed at three in the morning, knife in hand
Considering cutting my wrist, I'm just confused, trying to understand
See, if I painted a picture for you it would look like this
A tattoo on my forehead that says ignorance is bliss
I write these words to get them off my chest
God knows what would happen if they got through to my head
