Teenager

There she stood
AS stiff as wood
At the end of the street
Not saying a peep
Looking at the sky
Trying not to cry
Time flying by
Shes trying to live her life
But its cutting deep
Worse than a knife

Depression

Please Don´t be his friend
I promise you; he´ll try and make 
Your life come to an end
He´s like a gust of wind
A punch to the stomach
He´s three A.M crying
He´s ¨Why am i trying¨
He is the unanswered question with a sigh
¨Why do i want to die?¨
He has a skill and loves to kill
He´s the reason why most don´t try
He´s the reason some want to say goodbye
He is something we can´t escape
He is our worst fate
He will never wait
Hes the body on the floor
The body that lives no more
I told you not to let him in 
It seems like he has took the win
I told you not to be his friend.

Kuhn

The cemetery is like the last page of the book
It comes to fast and leaves dispair
It raises hair and tears you apart
I hope you know I loved you,
With all my heart
It tore me apart
And took half my heart
I loved you with a smile
Little did I know I wouldn´t see you for a while
Your first pages were brave 
Your last pages came like an unexpected wave
Then before we know it you were lowered in your grave

Monster

I swear there´s a monster inside
When i´m in public
He likes to hide
Some nights he´s stronger than any tide
He takes all my pride
He lives deep inside
He makes me sad
And even mad
He keeps me up at night
What he´s doing isn´t right
How do I get away
He´s always by my side
Always bringing me down
Always making me frown
I´m waiting for the day 
That i´m able to get away
Perhaps there´s no monster to find
Maybe i´m losing my mind ?

Her

You tore her apart
She is no more
She is no longer a happy girl 
Nobody knows what happened
Behind closed doors
Why she´s awake
When everyone else snores
She is a crushed girl
She still seems to smile
Every once in a while
She is no longer herself
She is too far gone
she does not have very long

Wonder

She brings me down
She´s the reason i frown
She attacks when nobody´s around
I can´t stand her sight
She loves to hurt me at night
She wants me to die
She always makes me cry
I don´t know what to do
The thing that
Brings me the most pain 
Is knowing we share the same name
