One More
One more pill one more cut one more bruise one more drink
Slurs pass through their lips
Laughter is heard between them
Yet no one directly calls me slurs so no one can help
One more pill one more cut one more bruise one more drink
Go kill yourself you’re worthless you deserve to die
They start saying things to me
Do you really hate me that much?
What have I done to you?
One more pill one more cut one more bruise one more drink
Words heard over and over again
Maybe they’re right
Maybe I am
Am I really a freak?
One more pill one more cut one more bruise one more drink
Everyone else is happy, why can’t I be?
No one even seems to notice me anymore
I should have seen this coming
One more pill one more cut one more bruise one more drink
No one cares about you any more
Just do it
No one will notice you’re gone
No one will care you’re gone
One more pill one more cut one more bruise one more drink
Things start to get physical
Pushed into lockers, my books in the trash
Teachers turn their heads
Kids laugh at the pain
One more pill one more cut one more bruise one more drink
Everything only gets worse, I cry myself to sleep every night
Scars line my arms, bones visible through my skin
Teachers see the signs but do nothing
Maybe no one really cares
One more pill one more cut one more bruise one more drink
5, 10, 15 pills lined up on the counter with a bottle of Captain Morgan
20, 30, 40 cuts on my thighs
Countless bruises covering my body
Hatred filled with every sip of the burning alcohol going down my throat
One more pill one more cut one more bruise one more drink
Swallowing one pill after another
Blood dripping down my arms and legs
No one would care that I would be gone
One more pill one more cut one more bruise one more drink
The world starts spinning and I hit the floor
I feel my head and heart pounding
Everything starts turning black
My only wish is that I knew what I did wrong
What I did to deserve their hate
One more pill one more cut one more bruise one more drink
