Some dumb kid finds himself lost and all alone
He reached for his pocket knife after he ran from home
Convinced that the world was out to get him
So he marked his skin
You don’t know how bad it’s been
The same dumb kid thinks there’s no reason to move on
And that the world would be a better place if he was just gone
The kid was me all along
It’s still so fucking hard sometimes to just stay strong
My skin is still scarred
Staying alive was hard
I didn’t see the purpose then and I barely see it now
The kid took some pills and cut on his wrist
Headed towards the nearest train tracks in the mist
Tears falling down his face as he thought about his loved ones
Staying alive for them wasn’t worth it now, he was just done
Three bright lights looked him right in his eyes
Nobody would even care if this is how he dies
He thought it was the way down towards the healing
Nothing could stop those daily painful feelings
But right as the train was about to catch him
Something pushed him away, I still don’t know what it could have been
I still don't know what it could have been
