From Scars to Me
Many opportunities mistaken with fear
Fear of reject
Fear of life
Fear of the world
Who would've known
Many times looking for an escape route
From it all
From the sinking walls
Throat on fire
Can anyone save me?
Not just any butterflies
I thought butterflies were supposed to be nice
Nice and beautiful
But they are gruesome
I wanna cry but the tears aren't there
I feel them but they are not there
When i'm alone is when i'm the most sane
At peace, at calm
Send help if there is help
But the help probably won't help
I want it back
I want happiness
Happiness seems nice
Is it nice?
Smiles ear to ear
The pain it hides runs deep within me
