Lyrics
A nervous hand ashes a ciggarette; as the car's lighter is pushed deep into her wrist.
The burn scar will fade in time like all the rest. It's just the pain makes her feel she's alive.
I'm afraid that she won't survive.
She drives all night listening to her favorite songs. She wonders how much longer this pain will go on. The car is stopped just as her tears begin, is this her life?
Why the hell won't this just end?
She starts to shake and then she starts to scream. Why does she only feel alive when she bleeds? She never wanted her life to be like this. It's just the pain makes her feel she's alive.
I'm afraid that she won't survive.
I'd give it all, it's all for you.
My heart my mind, you know it's true.
If I could stop your pain I would.
I'd take it all away for good.
It's her own fault she says, she's never let it show. She wrote the goddamn letter in time they'll all know. She hates herself and for the last time, she's overcome by:
The damage that she holds inside.
