lyrics

There’s pains in his stomach there’s pains in his head
He cries out in agony and collapses upon his bed
He tries to stay awake but he’s been up for days
He’s been thinking a lot and his mind has been made

And maybe he blames the people he knew
Or maybe he blames himself he’s through

Sprawled upon the bathroom floor
He’s in there again crying once more
Screaming for help bloods dripping from the walls
Who’s there to help him there’s no ones there
He lives by himself he wouldn’t dare
To tell anyone what he is

He’s made the first cut he’s nearly there
Finally worked up the courage but it couldn’t compare

His mind flicks back to the photographs of his past
And he knows that what he has done will last
His mother and his father will mourn for years
He wanted to hurt them and cause them tears

Sprawled upon the bathroom floor
He’s in there again crying once more
Screaming for help bloods dripping from the walls
Who’s there to help him there’s no ones there
He lives by himself he wouldn’t dare
To tell anyone what he is

Sprawled upon the bathroom floor
He’s in there again crying once more
Screaming for help bloods dripping from the walls
Who’s there to help him there’s no ones there
He lives by himself he wouldn’t dare
To tell anyone what he is
