"What Doesn't Kill You, Makes You Stranger"

thanks to you
i'm finding out who i am
but it's your fault
i can barely stand

these cuts are cleaned
but scars still remain
i count them as blessings
so i'll never forget the pain

thanks to you
i know how to say no
but it's your fault
my expectations are low

my heart may be hard
amour across my chest
but trust me, love
it's for the best

these cuts are cleaned
but scars still remain
i count them as blessings
so i'll never forget the pain

back down
i'm holding the gun now
you think you're so smooth
but this time i win, you lose

these cuts are cleaned
but scars still remain
i count them as blessings
so i'll never forget the pain

back down
i'm holding the gun now

"Untitled"

you're being weighed down
missed the deadline, forced to run away
life is wearing you out
insecurities show this vessel's seen better days
if i so much as look at you wrong
you'll be sure my lifespan isn't very long
you slowly open your mouth
not words, but daggers fly out
they pin me to the wall
you'll be sure i never fall
show me your hands!
i pull away, they are far from clean
my life is like sand
if i'm not careful, it will slip through my hands
my potential's been hidden so long
you're so sure i'm always wrong
you slowly open your mouth
not words, but daggers fly out
they pin me to the wall
you'll be sure i never fall
if only my lungs would allow me to scream
mother! but mother!
mother, it's me
