Locked In the Dark

I smile and laugh wildly, having fun with my friends They don’t know what a huge lie, i have to pretend To my friends I’m the funniest girl who’s so full of life But they don’t know how many times, I’ve held a bloody knife To them I’m the girl, who loves to strut down the street, Yet they don’t even know that I feel so incomplete To my friends my laughter can spread, They don’t know, inside my happiness is dead To my friends my smile can brighten up their day They don’t know that I’ve shut my feelings away I’m locked in a prison, one I can’t escape A place where my sole is constantly raped In my prison there is no love or spark, All alone, tired, desperate and left in the dark In the dark there is this monster in the dark waiting for the kill The danger sends out terrifying chill I’ve faced this monster before, it’s dressed in disguise My spirit breaks down further, slowly releasing its cries I have had enough so I bring out my knife Piecing my skin figuring out how to end my life I know it’s nobody’s fault; I’m the one to blame After all I’m the one causing myself the pain
