Behind My Shadow
.
I've wondered my life,
But wasn't sure of where I was
I crossed blades from a knife,
And that is where I bled.
I have three scars on my wrist,
The story is behind prison walls
I questioned myself "why did I do this?"
And all I did was fall.
No one was there,
I guess no one could see
I guess no one had cared,
Now I wish that they would leave.
Blood in my floor,
I can't believe I did it again
I wasn't askin for more,
Once my whole life caved in.
Behind my shadow,
Lies the truth that no one knows
The truth about me
And why I've sank so low.
