Saving Me

Salt my wounds

And throw me away

For I'm just human

And so I decay.

 

My hearts soaked with bitterness

The stains won't come out

My mind is unclean

Filled with depression and doubt

 

Lost all hope in humanity

Lonely I stay

As my soul pleads insanity

 

 

Just another day.

just a, just a, just another day.

 

In the obvious life of a teen

I resort to addictions

Euphoric dreams

 

Am I helping myself?

 

The answer is yes

Cause if it was that easy

We would never be depressed

 

If pain is the cure that I seek

Then it is I who is weak.

For pain is what I'm running from

Pain is what has been making me numb.

 

The urge to cause infliction

Has only left me with a greater infection

Believing in no one, everything's fake

Is the only way I'm even able to stay awake.

 

So do I have it all figured out,

Am I going to scream and shout?

Hurt myself constantly

Or should I believe in a better me.

 

Someone stronger than this

Someone who knows this addiction can be dismissed.

I am the cure to my own infliction

For I cannot be the cause of my own extinction
