At the risk of sounding rude
just who the f u c k do you think you are...

People say they understand me
but how can they understand me...

Can you see me
looking through the mirror...

The darkness deepens
with everyones heart...

It was coming like a monster
couldn't run...

Always i cry
still trying to find a way to say goodbye...

I wonder through the dark
unseen by passing peers...

Please don't hate me
i never meant to hurt you...

In a fight
almost every night...

Can you see behind the tear streaked eyes...
what do you see behind fake smiles and happiness...

Average may not be good enough
For anyone it seems...

What passed her lips? air, water. she was...
