The Damage

Hiding here, Hoping this will finally give me peace

Pretty please

Readying, practicing the damage on my cheek

I'm not about to crumble

I'm not about to cave

I'm not about to paint you a picture

So you'll see me

You don't bleed like I do

You don't feel what I do

You don't live in this awful place

You don't know the darkness like I do

With any luck, I've allowed for all the time I'll need

Pretty please

Deep enough, at least as far as I can feel

I'm not about to fumble

I'm not about to fail

I'm not about to scream bloody murder

So you'll Hear Me

You don't know the darkness but I do
