As i stand at the precipice of my soul I stare deep into its black abyss I'm numb, scared and shaking with a sweat on my brow This time i've bitten off more than i can chew There's an old post standing almost out of place A silent witness with scars from times before A fateful warnings inscribed "all secrets are kept" But we cannot promise pity or redemption [chorus] All this pain is confusing, has me all out of sorts I often think i can't go on anymore All i ask is please don't judge me, don't judge me at all Until you walk a mile in my shoes I find solace in the bleeding from the scabs on my wrist And my forehead and also on my face I know that no one else can see the strangers i meet As they come to me when all others are asleep If you find yourself with these words in your hands Then i have be unsuccessful in my quest to survive The pain and the guilt of my spineless existence Was so much more than i was worth
