I don’t feel shit unless it’s pain Nothing registers, no not even my name If you decide to get close, what I need the most Is my face in the dirt, make it hurt Pupils dilate, salivating don’t make me wait Break my ribs, rip out my nails I feel alive, it never fails Make it hurt, make it hurt I can't feel you if you don’t Make it hurt, make it hurt I can't feel you if you won’t Make it hurt I can't feel you if you don’t Make it hurt I’m pulling out my jagged teeth, need to know what's underneath I’m pulling out my jagged teeth, I need to know what's underneath Can’t take one more second hearing the voices disagree They’re not speaking words so dig your nails into my throat And listen to my pleas Make it hurt Make it stop, make it quiet for a bit I’m fucked in the head that much, I’ll admit So do me a favor, I know the cure Make it hurt for me, don’t ask cause I’m sure Help me out, make it quiet for tonight I know it’s not safe but I’ll be alright Make it stop, make it quiet for a bit I’m fucked in the head that much, I’ll admit Make it hurt, make it hurt I can't feel you if you don’t Make it hurt, make it hurt I can't feel you if you won’t Make it hurt I can't feel you if you don’t Make it hurt I just want to bleed out Bleed out I want to suffocate in plain site What a delight, what a delight I want to suffocate in plain site I wanna watch you let me die I wanna watch you let me die I wanna watch you let me die I wanna watch you let me die

Nothing works so I’ll count down from three Your gaze hurts please don’t fucking look at me It fucking hurts when I feel their eyes staring at me Like peeling off my skin I’m begging you don’t look at me It fucking hurts when I feel their eyes staring at me Like peeling off my skin Don’t look at me Don’t you, don’t you Don’t you, don’t look at me Look at me I don’t exist to myself So what the fuck do you see Fuck make it stop, I feel them burning my brain Eyes Eyes bloodshot They’re glaucomatic I see how you’re feeling They tell me it’s automatic Your versions of me are clouding my vision We’re getting close to the time for incision Pressure's building and my eyes are gonna burst If this is how you see me I’ll make sure that I’m the worst It’s not me, I’m not me Don’t look at me, it’s not me I said don’t you fucking look at me Torture when strangers stare And if they knew they wouldn't care It’s not me, I’m not me Don’t look at me, it’s not me It’s not me, I’m not me Don’t look at me, it’s not me It fucking hurts when I feel their eyes staring at me Like peeling off my skin I’m begging you don’t look at me It fucking hurts when I feel their eyes staring at me Like peeling off my skin Don’t look at me Back up, bitch Don't you, don't you, don't look at me Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't look at me My head is down and I’m looking at my feet Whatever you’re doing sure as shit’s not discrete I don’t sleep and I can’t fucking eat 'Cause I know they all see A fuck up who admits defeat

Round and round Round and round I'm all smiles Round and round we go Round and round we go I'm all smiles Don't show them Don't ever let them see that side of me Just use a prosthetic smile, you fucking amputee Round and round Round and round I'm all smiles They say the eyes are the window to the soul If you couldn't tell that mine is dead, the grin met its goal Distractions and first impressions Throw you off with fake expressions Throw you off with fake expressions I never let you see inside I don't leave room for anything to be implied I never let you see inside Run, better run if I ever get untied Ten, nine, eight I just can't relate Seven, six, five, four Shut the door Three, two, one Real self? There's none Even in my dreams, it doesn't ever stop I wish that at least there I could take off this fucking prop But it's stuck, it's glued to my face So I'm stuck right here Couldn't keep up the pace I'll say it again just in case This smile's my saving grace Round and round Round and round I'm all smiles Round and round we go Round and round we go I'm all smiles I swear nobody looks twice As long as I keep up this smirk And at this point And at this point It doesn't even seem to take any work Round and round Round and round I'm all smiles Ten, nine, eight I just cannot relate Seven, six, five, four So I shut the fucking door Three, two, one Real self? There is none Happy now? I was honest Now let's be done

You fooled me once I fooled me too They say the shame is on me I say the shame is on you You fooled me once I fooled me too I'll never forgive you for the hell you put me through It's like when people talk all I hear is white noise And I feel like if I sit here for one more second I'll lose my voice You can see it in my eyes, it's no surprise The lows outweigh the highs The lows outweigh the highs I can’t stand the static sound That always follows me around I won’t hear what you said Let alone the thoughts in my head I can’t stand the static sound That always follows me around I won’t hear what you said You fooled me once I fooled me too They say the shame is on me I say the shame is on you You fooled me once I fooled me too I'll never forgive you for the hell you put me through Never, never, never! You can say it all you want but it won’t make it true Cause the things you wish you weren’t Are what make you you Scream it 'til you’re blue in the face You always knew that I could vanish without a trace Say it, say it, say it all you want but it's not true The shit you hate about yourself Is what makes you you Call me a sociopath, you're not off base Cause I fucking love that you were scared I’d disappear without a trace I won’t be nice and I’m a bad bad man This is what happens when you treat someone as less than You I'm a bad bad man You fooled me once I fooled you too I'll never forgive you for the hell you put me through You fooled me once You fooled me two They say the shame is on me I say the shame is on you You fooled me once You fooled me two I'll never forgive you for the hell you put me through

I'd cauterize my eyes to avoid the fear Of looking into a fucking mirror I see ugly, I don't see a trace of me Tell me it's not true I'll smile and fucking disagree I'd cauterize my eyes to avoid the fear Of looking into a fucking mirror It might sound dramatic but it's sincere I'd do anything to look and have nothing appear Distorted glass shimmers through my spine Warped reflections this body's not fucking mine My face gets cold while the rest of me sweats Cope with a bottle and two packs of cigarettes Strung out And burnt up beyond repair If I could see what you see I’d be fine I swear But I don’t and I just fucking can't I'm sorry for the bother I didn't mean to rant I'd cauterize my eyes to avoid the fear Of looking into a fucking mirror I see ugly, I don't see a trace of me Tell me it's not true I'll smile and fucking disagree I'd cauterize my eyes to avoid the fear Of looking into a fucking mirror Sounds dramatic but it's sincere Every day is torture living with mirror fear This body's not Fucking mine Claw at my skin Dig at my face Rip out my hair Let's start from scratch just in case Claw at my skin Dig at my face Rip out my hair I can’t remember who I am so I’ll erase I'll fucking erase Erase Erase Erase Erase Erase Erase Erase This body's not fucking mine I can’t remember who I am so I’ll erase I can’t remember who I am so I’ll erase I can’t remember who I am so I’ll erase Let's start from scratch Just in case Claw at my skin Dig at my face Rip out my hair Let's start from scratch just in case Claw at my skin Dig at my face I can't remember Who I am So I'll erase

It's not manipulation if I let you do it So don't feel fucking bad because I'm begging you to do it 'Cause when I get like this I really can't dismiss I'm lifeless all around and I want to reminisce When I try to set it straight I fold and feel The weight I'm digging at my ears But I can't understand what they say They interrupt and scream But now I get the theme It's all a big goddamn scheme Be my, be my puppeteer Pull my strings Feed me lies And whisper in my ear I'm off the rails I'm on the lam I hate who I am I'm off the rails I'm on the lam Tell me what to do that's the plan Pose me in any fashion Change the way I walk I'd rather be a puppet than an outline in chalk Be my, be my puppeteer Pull my strings Feed me lies And whisper in my ear Be my, be my puppeteer Pull my strings Feed me lies And whisper in my ear I am a marionette I am a lifeless threat I am a marionette I am a lifeless threat I am a marionette I am a lifeless threat I am a marionette I am a lifeless threat

Trace your vital veins Too easy to get inside their brains Trace your vital veins Too easy to get inside their brains I feel it I see it I know how you think I sharpened the edge Now I let it sink I get what I want And you're easy to fool Keep a smile while I butcher That's the only rule I'll smile so loud it cuts you Like the blade I use to strip your skin There's nothing in this world that I can't spin I'll smile so loud it cuts you No you won't see the knife only my grin There's nothing in this world that I can't spin Can't feel it Can't see it You don't know what I am on the inside This serrated self is a part of me And if it's sharp as can be I sharpen more to guarantee That when I lay into you There's no room to disagree So when I lay in you can't see me for me Suck my teeth Lick my lips Gotta keep my mouth shut Or the blood drips I'll smile so loud it cuts you Like the knife I use to fuck your skin You’ll never see the smiling knife within Look at my Lips curl While I flash a smile I know you can't see

Or did you trip me Trick me and make me fall off I won’t lie this god damn time You make me feel small But I choose to fucking crawl Don’t care 'bout the danger Wanna be a stranger Don’t care about the danger I dread it all, I dread it all I choose the peaks and I live in the falls I'm feelin’ small and it hurts to crawl When I looked up were you looking down after all? And if I'm gonna spiral out Gotta maintain some control I dread it all I dread it I dread it all I dread I dread it all

I wish nobody poked these holes At the top of this goddamn jar I never knew I never knew That you're my least favorite part I crossed my heart You say you want it I say you don't You say you want it but you won't There's only needles There's no more eyes You say you want it But you only get so many tries I've given you so many tries Cross my heart And hope to die I'll never understand So I won't try It's been a while since I let you breathe It doesn't matter how many times I’ve tried to make you leave We’re the same and there's nothing I can do I accept this part And I think I love it too Cross my heart And hope to die I'll never understand So I won't try Bad luck Bad luck Bad luck Bad luck I won't fight it I won't fight it We’re fucking stuck Stuck together here to stay Do you know what it's like? To have the worst in you glorified By fucks who only care When you’re sad or if you cried Positive reinforcement for feeling suicidal? For wishing I was dead? Why didn't you ask if I was okay instead?
