When the rest of the world
Is rising above you,
There is only one thing left to do.
Look away, look away...
When the strings of your heart
Are tangled around,
Look away
When you're falling down.
Why do you fight this?
Why do you roam?
Where is your foundation?
Where is your home?
Look away, look away...
Reach out for anything,
Anything at all.
But you know there is nothing
When you fall.
Look away, look away...
When the strings of your heart
Are tangled around,
Look away
When you're falling down.
The clouds above you shine.
You are mine, you are mine...
Fly away
Fly away to this peace of mind.
Break away for just a moment
Break away
Fly away
Fly away to this peace of mind.
Break away for just a moment
Break away
Escape reality
And let your soul unfold.
Arrive at wit's end and
Feel yourself consoled.
Look away.
Reach out and let go.
Drugs? Cigarettes? Alcohol?
These are nothing,
Compared to the addiction
Known as cutting.
When you cut from depression,
You get this feeling,
Of relief, of distraction from
The pain that's inside,
And that is a feeling incomparable,
To any drug in existence.
That is why after one cut, there will
Almost always be another,
And another, and another, each one
Makes the regret of the last,
Disappear... for just a little while.
Something people who,
Haven't had any reason to feel
Pain that feels so strong
On the inside, would never, ever,
Understand, so don't say
Stop.... Ask why.
Hiding in the corner,
With his wings tucked in,
Tears in his eyes,
And cuts in his skin,
He once was innocent,
At some point in time,
Because of his scars,
He's no longer divine,
His wings are withered,
His arms rest on his knees,
His tears run down,
As fast as his wrist bleeds,
Do you see him,
Hiding over there,
Are you going to act,
Like you don't care,
In torment and tears,
He does dwell,
We cannot help,
This Tainted Angel...
No one can see the pain that we hide,
They're happy for us to keep it inside,
Our fear is our own; they don't want to know,
Why sould we involve them; why should it show.
You live your whole life in confusion and fear,
The need to feel something unbearably near,
Half of you living, Half of you gone,
And inside you know what your doing is wrong.
The thing's that can help, the thing's that may heal,
Are the flame or the blade and the sting of the steel,
The destruction of skin means the death of your soul,
But there's nowhere to run when your living alone.
What These Eyes See
With these eyes, I look at thee
And see not what others see
Instead I see beneath the mask
To find out what, you need not ask
You need but look into your heart
To find out what you truly are
Your heart is black, far from divine
But shame on me, for so is mine.
My Angel
You are my angel, and even though
Your skin may not be as white as snow
Your wings they are the deepest black
That would put to shame a witchs cat
And instead of a halo, you have horns
The tips of which are sharp as thorns
Youre still my angel, and you should know
Whatever your destination, my soul will go.
Trapped
I feel I
Sorry --
What if she died?
And at the funeral her parents told you,
"You could have saved her from herself."
How would that make you feel?
And that night you went home
Sat in your room alone
And killed yourself
Just to be with her again and tell her
"I'm sorry."
Friends --
Why do people try to help me?
Do they care?
I guess they do
But all I do is hurt them
Especially Sarah
She keeps trying to help me
But all I do is push her away
She's my best friend
Why can't I just let her help?
Emptiness --
What if I died right now?
How would you fell?
Sad, depressed, torn apart?
Or would you feel nothing,
But an empty place that
