When we were 15 we wouldn’t dare let that shit be seen but now it seems mutilation’s gone mainstream I see you at my shows, scarred up from head to toe like there’s no point even trying not to let it show Cause we all know, emo kids like to hurt themselves too many feelings and not enough self control and I mean, does this mess any of the rest of you it’s an epidemic and we’re cool with it, don’t question it But it bothers me, our scars are currency by which we’re measured like let the record show who let it slip and who held it together cutters and burners and honorable mentions posers who still cut themselves up for the attention I don’t care your intentions, I just want you to know my self-hatred never took me where I wanted to go and at the end of the day, you know I still had to face that I can pick at the pain, but can’t cut it away and you know what else I can’t do is give you ten good reasons not to I’ve racked my brain for clever sayings of all the things you ought to do But you know, I think if there was something I could say They’d have thrown it on a brochure- and sent you on your way So I’ll keep doing what I always do: drag my heart to the piano and make it sing for you I’ll keep doing what I always do: drag my heart to the piano and let it sing for you Drag my heart to the piano and let it sing for you
