Deeper than Cuts


The tears on your face

Shows the lies that have been made

So you hide behind the scars that keep you felling behind bars

Wishing you could just fade away

Afraid of what people might say 

If only I could die today

No one must care

I just can't bare

But there must be some hope

Is His name anything I really need

Apparently He died on Calvery 

Paid for my salories?

He says he waiting for me to come his way

His soft voice excliams death is not the answer 

no not for today 

For he is Yeweah He made me this way

full of life

He rcommends I put away the knives
