[corrosive_limes]

Hold your breath while you watch me fall
It's easier to say nothing at all
I need a friend, playing pretend's not working
These pills are useless and the shadows keep lurking
Let me go, there's nothing left inside
To run and hide is all I know to survive
The nightmare won't end, this life grow colder
Come wake me up when it's all over

Some of us made it, but no one deserved it
I'm silent, I'm screaming
Sticks and Stones was
The rhyme that they taught us
To fight off our monsters
To help numb the darkness
But what they forgot was
Is you don't need to break my bones
For you to break me
The voices won't stop
Don't let me be alone
Please someone, I just wanna go back home

Lock the door, I'm rotting in my room
I hope tomorrow doesn't come to soon
My tears ran dry, my heart's suffocating
The bruises and I are slowly fading
Make it stop, there's whispers in my head
The mirrors echo everything they've said
To rise and shine is so hard to do
When all the light has been taken from you

Some of us made it, but no one deserved it
I'm silent, I'm screaming
Sticks and Stones was
The rhyme that they taught us
To fight off our monsters
To help numb the darkness
But what they forgot was
Is you don't need to break my bones
For you to break me
The voices won't stop
Don't let me be alone
Please someone, I just wanna go back home
