I did it again
won't you be suprised
I cut myself again
it helps me to feel alive
I did it before
and I'll do it again
it makes me think of life
and how it could have been
you see these things
and think poor her
and you wonder why
it had to occur
you wonder why
you look into her eyes
and beg and plead
for her not to lie
you ask for the truth
then you see her tears
turns out she's been hiding them
for so many years
you look in her room
and ask yourself why
then you let it all out
all your fears come alive
the posters on the walls
the screaming in your ears
and whats hiding under her bed sheets
there are too many things here
how could you have not seen it before
and look at what's hiding
behind the bedroom door
the box full of condoms
the blood on the walls
it makes you wonder
how you couldn't have heard it
from just down the hall
is there something I did wrong
I didn't parent her to well
I read in her diary
that life would be better in hell
I didn't think it was this bad
how could I have raised a child
who was this mad
who didn't like her life
who thought it was so bad
you think about your life
and all of the good times you two have had
looking back on it all
you thought she was getting so big
you made me feel so small
no matter how much I grow
no matter what I do
no matter what you think of me
that is what I'll do
this isn't the first time
that I've done something bad
this isn't the first time
that I've felt so sad
I wanted to tell you before
that I've heard you and Rick
from behind closed doors
so I'll never be like you mom
you think that my life is so bad
well guess what
you tell me about your life
and I see all of the things I never had
loving parents, who treat me well
instead of telling me to burn in hell
an aunt and uncle who live down the street
a family who never had any secrets to keep
then you do this
and I don't know why
so then at night
I start to cry
I did it again
won't you be suprised
I cut myself again
it's the only thing
thats keeping me alive
The Other Life
