Would you ever wonder
Could you ever see
The cuts scars and bruises
That always cover me
Do you even care
Can you see them everywhere?
Do you see past my clothes
And past the hair in my face
Can you see the pain in me
Do you hear the sadness in my voice
Can you see the sorrow in my eyes
Would you care to help
If you knew it was all my choice
The pain I'm in is self inflicted
It's like a drug that eats away
Gripping and pulling me in
It's so hard to go a day
Without making myself pay
Pay for past sins and excuses
Trying to purge myself of memories
Clean my slate and started again
Start afresh and anew
Don't start the things I now do
Never touch a razorblade
Never bruise myself
Never try to burn all my scars away
Life my life from day to day
Without leaving some reminder
Of what I have become
Erase the names
Erase the hearts
Erase the initials
And stars that cover my arm
Become I new person
Not haunted by you
Be a newborn free me
But no one ever sees
The pain I'm drowning in
No one wants to help
Pull me from my hateful grasp
Make the self inflicted pain
All go away
And since nobody cares
Cheers to new scars
Right where anyone could see them
If they just looked past
My bravado and pride
Took a look inside
And see the tears and screams
I cry and plea inside me
