Standing on the bus stop
Feeling your head pop
Out in the night on the kind of night
Where you want to be out on the street
On the street
Crawling up the walls like a cat in heat
And the air is thin and it blows through your skin
And you feel like something is about to begin
But you don't know what and you don't know when
So you tear at your hair
And you scratch at your skin
You want to run away
Run away
Just get on a f***ing train and leave today
And it doesn't matter where you spend the night
You just might end up somewhere in a fight
In a fight
Or caught in your room on a concrete shelf
Fighting all alone with yourself
With yourself
And you just want to feel like a coin that's been tossed
In a wishing well
A wishing well
A wishing well
A wishing well
A wishing well
Well you're tossed in the air and you fell and you fell
Through the dark blue waters where you cast your spell
Like you were just a wish that would turn out well
So you stand on the corner where the angels sit
And you think to yourself this is it
This is it
This is all that I have
All I can stand
This is the air in my lungs
And this coin in my hands
That you tossed in the air
And I fell
And I fell
All the way to the bottom of the well
Of the well
Like those soft little secrets that you tell
That you tell
When you think to yourself
No one's listening too well
And the walls spin
And you're paper thin
From the haze and the smoke and the mescaline
The threat of your brow
And your unmade sheets
In your ear with the noise from the darkest streets
We ran far and wide
You screamed
You cried
You thought suicide was an alibi
But you were always a mess
You were always aloof
Yeah it's awful I guess
But it's the awful truth
It was the truth from the first to the last words that she read
And she emerged from the dark like a ghost in my head
She said I haven't forgot any words that you said
I just stare at the clocks and I cry in my sleep
And I tear up your letters and I burn them in heaps
And I gather the ashes in the hole in the ground where we fell

"God take me, because I hate me" -Underoath
We are male and female. We are artists, athletes, and students. We have depression, PTSD, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, or maybe no diagnosis at all. Some of us were abused, some not. We come from all walks of life and can be any age. We are every race or religion that you can think of. Our common link is this: We are in pain. We self-injure. And we are not freaks.
