Battle wounds here from fights I\'ve lost
Being swallowed by emptiness
Laying in this dark abyss
Words of encouragement
These shadows have tossed
And \'Welcome home\'
are the sweetest words I\'ve ever known
Even when they come from demons
I put a smile in its place
And makeup on my face
Don\'t I look better?
And these monsters never scream
Words lighter then a feather
Comforting me like \'We\'re in this together\'
It makes it easy to give in
And go back to that place
When I couldn\'t recognize a face
In a completely different world
A whole other place
Living off of coffee and cigarettes
Pills every night
Chaos in my mind
And not enough time
Never enough
There\'s no pity in the city
I swear its much too busy
Too many stories to be told
