Scratch21 - The Rhyme Lyrics

Hold your breath, while you watch me fall
It's easier to say nothing at all
I need a friend, playing pretend's not working
These pills are useless and the shadows keep lurking
Let me go, there's nothing left inside
To run and hide is all I know to survive
The nightmare won't end, this life grows colder
Come wake me up when it's all over

Some of us made it, but no one deserved it
I'm silent, I'm screaming. Sticks and stones was the
Rhyme that they taught us to fight off our monsters
To help numb the darkness but what they forgot was
Is you don't need to break my bones for you to break me
The voices won't stop, don't let me be alone
Please someone, I just wanna' go back home

Lock the door, I'm rotting in my room
I hope tomorrow doesn't come too soon
My tears ran dry, my heart's suffocating
The bruises and I are slowly fading
Make it stop, there's whispers in my head
The mirrors echo everything they've said
To rise and shine is so hard to do
When all the light has been taken from you

Some of us made it, but no one deserved it
I'm silent, I'm screaming. Sticks and stones was the
Rhyme that they taught us to fight off our monsters
To help numb the darkness but what they forgot was
Is you don't need to break my bones for you to break me
The voices won't stop, don't let me be alone
Please someone, I just wanna' go back home

I remember every story they wrote on my back
Bruises like words tattooed into my skin in blue and black ink
I remember every kitchen sink surgery
Where family had to stitch me back together
I remember every happily ever after that never came to pass
We didn't go to school in fairy tales
We went to school in all the gory details
Of a horror story while monsters
Made us victims of their comedy

We, the recipients of their punch lines
They hung insults around our necks
Like signs inviting anyone to join in
Their words were invisible ink
That they tattooed upon our skin

Some of us made it, but no one deserved it
I'm silent, I'm screaming. Sticks and stones was the
Rhyme that they taught us to fight off our monsters
To help numb the darkness but what they forgot was
Is you don't need to break my bones for you to break me
The voices won't stop, don't let me be alone
Please someone, I just wanna' go back home

I know that I'm stronger, broken heart of a fighter
My scars remind me that I'm a survivor
This life is a tough and I don't wanna' play it
I'm reaching for a hand, help me make it
But it's too much, so I give up
Just please don't hate me
My letter's on the pillow, with a kiss goodbye
I'm sorry, mom. But I promise that I tried
