Hello darkness my old friend,
I've come to chat with you again...

My Mind is a fortress.
My Mind is a prison...

They ask me
why am I...

I don't even care if you cry,
Everything that you told me is a lie...

I had a talk with God tonight,
Really the first time I've ever opened up to him...

When you walked away I was only five years old.
When you walked away I was too young to...

Long time no see, says the man with the razor...
How have you been, it's been awhile...

This probably isn't the smartest thing to do,
But since last we spoke...

If I could tell the truth I'd lose everything,
The woman I love, my friends and family...

I remember a time,
before all the tattoos...

Everything fell silent,
the cold floor pressed against my skin gave me...

I have always told myself I would not live to be...
Not because of some kind of random act of violence...
