cut me out

i walk in small steps

heavy doses

head down so you never notice

headphones on

a quiet song

try to block it out

it's so hard to focus

i get lost in those tiny moments

and slowly start to breathe

those words hurt

but i know that

i'm not broken until i bleed

so cut me out

or cut me open for the last time

see if i'm hollow on the inside

is this all we are?

take turns at painful words and scars?

if there's any life left deep inside of me

i stand tall

you'll fall for anything

i walk in small steps

not holding back

take time before i react

they're waiting for my fall so they can have it all

and i'm fine with that

cause i've been down that low a lot

i know what it's like

but i never forgot

the best way to the bottom

is the worst way to the top

just look around you

you're living a lie like it's the only way

with tired eyes come darker days

your time

it's all i ever wanted

but time is not the same as trust

leave everything for them

but none for us

when the day comes

i stand tall

you'll fall

you'll see

you'll fall for anything
