and it still hurts to breathe
these bones won't stretch
under this scarred tissue
i'm etched with marks
i act like they aren't there
that they don't bother me
and so do you
and it still hurts to breathe
when these lungs take their final breath
of pain from this unbearable world
these scars don't seem to fade
the pain just holds on
and grips me tighter
and it still hurts to breathe
when these days turn to nights
and i can't tell the difference
when no one hears my s.o.s
i'm left with no one but myself
and my only friend that is my blade
and it still hurts to breathe
so i'm about to take in my last breath
of tainted air...
