    These streetlights lead away
    From my broken home and my broken soul
    I left them all behind
    In a laundry pile in the bedroom hall
    Everything went your way
    I turned my back on the friends I had
    My priorities weren't that straight
    And you took advantage of the fact
    When I was lost and alone
    I called out to my hope
    It answered back and laughed at me
    It ridiculed my uncertainty
    When x-squared equals a plus b
    And I am b and a is free
    There comes out no solution
    I'm square-root, frothing, negative pollution
    I'm trying my best to take this all in
    My pocket's jingling with needles and pins
    A pale body that's weak and thin
    I punish myself as I pierce the skin
    I tarnish myself with a signature
    Bloody scabbed criss-cross forms a picture
    You're staring back at me from my bleeding arms
    There's a smile on your face, you love this self harm
    You love it when I hurt myself
    Getting attention with an abstract sentiment
    Attention whore, just needs more, have you seen this mess?
    When the blood pours filling up the silence
    I'm screaming now, I'm on my knees
    A brand new light from beyond the curtain
    Open my blinds so you can see
    This dying child and then you'll scream
    ..."What the **** is wrong with me?"
