Inside His Mind
He reverts back to the scars of his youth
Fighting the demon he’s turning into
Trying to sweep away a fire
As he holds the igniter
Lighter fluids doused all over the broom
That's been his mood
He sits alone
looking a little confused
Why'd you saw me to the bone?
When you said it will just leave be a bruise
He’s neglected
He’s on his last leg
And he’s desperate
He’s hurtin’
So he decided he’s gonna get the last word in
Going to tip the glass left
Shake whatevers loose
And close curtain
He lifts his chin up
On a chair in his room
Hypes himself up
with whisky and valium
Tied a knot around his neck
And then tied the knot to his roof
There was nothing I could do
Just dug my hands into my head
Like I was about to tear it in two
I’m sorry that I left us
I feel sick to my soul
My brain feels infected
I just had to “dont know”
I needed help from feeling helpless
After al the sparkles I collected
I finally got the nerve
To speak up stop feeling nervous
Only to suffocate on every word
