I'm familiar with the pain
Of living up to your own name

Just another tile in the sidewalk
Invisible to most, but unspeakably hurt when stepped on

A heavenly plea for affection or closure
Wishing for the loving embrace of another
Providing the means to keep on going
Under so much weight, I am no one

My heart has always been a shelter for others
Emptiness is pouring down, I can't find any cover
Sometimes I wonder
Why these thoughts of suicide
Bring me so much fucking peace of mind

I'm familiar with the pain
Of living up to your own name

If I ever lose hope
If I feel like I will drown
If I'm tied onto a rope
Weep in vain, then cut me down

I'll face the world with strength I haven't mustered
