Drinking to numb the heartache
These drops of blood fall like tears
    drunk enough i dont feel the pain
  the pain you put me through
                the cuts i opened for you
Stupid! Stupid!
    This is the story i tell myself,
                the lullaby i sing
As i claw the walls
    they talk to me now
Stupid! they say. You should have stayed away
                i laugh
Cause i enjoy it
                i can actually feel something!
  i told myself to run
                but you were like a knife
Opened me up, made me feel
Its okay! Its okay!
                Cause now youre gone
          i still feel, feel the emptiness
    but the alcohol is here to make me numb
Numb again!
                It hurts! i feel my nails
    clawing my skin, the walls
            theyre silent now
Yes theyre silent. Everythings silent.
                Except that annoying sound.
    Oh thats me screaming! Haha!
Somethings cold. Oh, its the floor.
                Okay, i can handle the floor
    i feel the floor, but it doesnt make me feel it
                Not like you
But youre gone now. The knife is gone.
                          So its okay.
Dont mind me. Im just drunk.
                          So its okay.
Its all okay. Its all okay.
