Echoes whisper behind the scenes,
A fading backdrop of crushed dreams,
Dimly lit to smother life,
Pain that drips down from a knife,
A stuttered out apology,
To show you that the lonely,
Shall never smile again,
Neither now nor back then,
Love and hate bear harmless words,
And no one believes you when you say it hurts,
So you run on home and lock yourself away,
You slash your body with a razorblade,
To get through today and you’ll do the same tomorrow,
You spend every day hiding all your sorrow,
One day, someone will pick you up,
But until then, it seems that you’re stuck.

And no one believes you when you say it hurts,

To get through today and you’ll do the same tomorrow,
You spend every day hiding all your sorrow,
One day, someone will pick you up,
But until then, it seems that you’re stuck.
