Everything stops tonight

Tonight as my heart bleeds, I remember what you said.

My own mother doesnt love me.

As I pull this knife out of my back, I envision her smile.

I know that she wants me to take my life.

If I were locked away, I couldnt hurt myself.



Tonight as this blade cuts my skin, I trace the scars you've made.

My own father fails to see them.

As I fall into hell, I see him crying.

I know that he's ignoring the change in me.

If you loved me, you wouldnt have let me sink this deep.



Tonight as I look at pictures, I shed tears for them.

My parents have failed not only me, but themselves as well.

As long as there is air in my lungs, they will both hurt me.

You promised you would be there, but you arent.



I walked beside both of you at one time.

I wouldve went through misery to see you smile.

As always, Im repaid in no love and silence.

As I pull the trigger, I see you mourn your loss.



If you cared, you'd have been there to stop me.
