Plunge
You are hurt so you hurt yourself
Just when you thought
Just once
Just one time
Powder your nose
Heat your spoon
Plunge
Killing yourself
To escape
Now you have more to escape
You are hurt so you hurt yourself
You don’t care
Or maybe
Maybe you care
Sometimes you do
You don’t know yourself
And when I look at you
I feel your weakness
But I wouldn’t ever know
What it is like to be that broken
You consume yourself
You are hurt so I try to pick you up
I want to be the strong one
How can I help
If I could just change
If I could help you get away
I would get away with you
I am lost so I help you
We escaped
