it's like all your enemies having a gun in hands
and you want to die
it's like your mum checking your arms
asking you why you can't cry
it's like having a black heart
and feeling your addiction
it's like feeling a thousand daggers
the daggers are your affliction
it's like hearing that your ex
is single again
it's like hearing that your mum doesn't love you anymore
that heroin is her biggest fan
it's like watching the tv
but only seeing black and white
it's like temperatures rising because it's getting summer
the sun shines upon you, but you're longing for the night
this is the feeling you get
when you know the blade is in the drawer next to you
but you're feeling so much hate, that you try to forget
the promises you made
trying not to die again
