Put down the razor,don'


Put down the razor,

don't let them see.

What all of my inner demons

have done for me.

 

Take a cold shower,

It won't sting

The wounds will heal

Beginning of next Spring

 

Cry silent,

Don't wake up your mom,

Don't tremble baby

Just keep calm

 

Don't listen,

Close your eyes

Don't believe 

The petty lies

 

One day,

The pain will go away,

Your mind won't be grey

And you won't be the devils pray

 

But in truth,

You like the pain

because you think

You deserve it..
