• Quietly, Quietly
    Cry these tears at night
    The only way to tell
    I'm not all right
    Secretly, secretly
    Nobody must know
    Keep making lame excuses
    So the cuts will never show
    Gracefully, gracefully
    Laugh and joke along each day
    If I let a smile slip
    They'll realize I'm not okay
    Desperately, desperately
    Climb the walls of my caged mind
    Looking for a way out
    That I know I'll never find
    Slowly, slowly
    My heart breaks before your eyes
    There's no true happiness in me
    There's just despair cloaked in disguise
    Carefully, carefully
    Hide my fragile form
    Living less and less
    Pretending it's just the norm
    Gently, gently
    I stroke the marks upon my arms
    Lying alone, blood trickles down
    Another victim of self-harm.
