By N3ll

 Smoke cigarettes with the hope of dying young
Roll up little buds with hope of numbing feelings
Inhale gasoline with the hope of stopping my mind
Slice here and there with the hope of purification
Burn the skin with hope of showing my insides
Fuck them with the hope that they will not love me
Torture them with the hope that they will see the darkness
Play mind games with the hope of strange amusement
Cry by myself with the hope that someone will hear
Give up sleeping with the hope that the nightmares will die
Stop talking with the hope that silence has more meaning
Sleep walk around with the hope that someone will notice
Hold up the white flag with the hope that everyone will stop
Shoot the flare gun with the hope that someone will save me
In everything I do there is hope, in every action I take there is hope
Drag you into my world let you use my soul with the hope that you’ll understand.
Let my eyes burn you into the ground for calling me hopeless.
