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
