Teenage Suicide

I don't think that she hears my screams
I watch the knife blade as it gleams
Because my smile isn't what it seems
On the outside

I'm ready just to grab the knife
Just about to take my life
Finally the end to all my strife
I finally can hide

Everybody is a liar
bottling up all of their fire
I wish that there was someone I could admire
But everybody has lied

They say you swing the bat and miss
That you and him are going to kiss
Please don't tell anybody this
It's in you I confide

My life's a secret so unkept
My eyes wide open as you slept
I'm just a nobody, that's my rep
I'm so locked up inside

And even when I'm gone they'll say
The same old things, every day
It'll be the same in every way
The teenage suicide
