Pain Is All I Know

Shadows embrace my bleeding corpse They stab my heart with shining swords With every stab, my heart contorts With every stab, my brain distorts Everlasting madness and sadness remains Before I'm put in my box of restraint To demons, my heart once pertained They drained my mind and stained my name I'd cut their skin and take their air I'd grab their bodies, rip and tear I'm going to take their lives, I swear One day I'll come, just be aware Hate and sadness don't match well It turns into a living hell I'm going to grab my sharpest blade I'm going to kill my lungs today I just want to get away I am just a human waste Canvas filled with all their lives Painted with my sharpest knife Watching for their peering eyes Watching out for fiercest lies Colors fade, as does my care Life is dumb and just, unfair My blood is mixed within my hair Hearts are racing, no one cares I've swallowed pride and blood and pills But I am still mentally ill
