worst of all
02:25
|
|||
hope is not a plan
its a good creature but it can’t do much
its a loser that is holding on
yet i yearn for finally giving up
faith is evil and it yanks my chain
puppy crying all in vain
i am sad i still deal with all the same things
that i once did
i want the things that i never had
the things that normals take for granted
ah,im sad
a brain and body not in war
something to keep living for
i cry forever lay at your feet
wanting caring,wanting sleep
but thinking i did worst of all
cannot allow it
so i slit my inner arms up
pulling all the tissue out
creating rivers from my shoulders to my thumb
i wanna take all the bad things
all the things i didn’t think that i had to deal with
and i want to pull it all out of me
there are things in here
that i didn’t put there
that were forced in me
and now they’re glued
and please dont yell dont scream
or i feel unreal
i am scared of you
but i am scared of myself too
i want the things i never had
the things that normals take for granted
ah,im sad
a brain and body not in war
something to keep living for
i cry forever lay at your feet
wanting caring,wanting sleep
but thinking i did worst of all
because you told me thats the case
and i want the things that im not allowed to touch
a sense of something pure like love
and i need the things you told me i did
and its the grossest sense of sickening
and i should've listened to my inner voice
speaking up but i never spoke up
and thinking i did worst of all
cannot allow it
cannot allow it
cannot allow it
cannot allow it

happy today
02:55
|
|||
i’ll tattoo across my chest
that im unlovable to prove it
and force the pills down my throat
so i can kiss someone without puking
im sick of being sick but sick is sick of wanting out
my body should be a body but instead its walking ground
but just strap your boots on and walk all over me
ive gotten kinda used to that whole dynamic
ill tie your laces if you just could listen for a while
ill sing horrific details in the story of my life
ill cut across my chest
that im uncomfortable to show it
cause im bad at saying how i feel
thats why i’m not a poet
everything i write is always repetitive
and way too literal
but the only way to say im sad is if i sing it so
just strap on your shoes and walk across the sea
or anything at all just get the fuck away from me
those days where im just so depressed that everybody sucks
i hate those days but hey its me so sorry but fuck off
ill shoot my brain to pieces
so i can prove that i dont like it
the thoughts and all the pictures
that repeat themselves inside me
the therapy thats killing me
the people who are treating me
the ocd inside of me
the fuckedness im trying not to be
but i promised not to die
i've promised lots of people
i even have a hotline number saved to make them feel like
im still kinda here that they shouldn’t start to mourn just yet
even if it really does feel like i am gone already
and my antidepressants are like gummy candy to me
i swallow them with water and wait until the happy kicks in
it doesn’t even matter that the only thing they do is make me ill
the placebo effect of goodness is enough for me to be
happy today
happy today

saying that im fine
01:39
|
|||
saying that im fine made me realise that i wasn’t
made me realise that i haven’t been for long
so i've chosen to keep playing
in a game that i can’t win in
like im just support for others
or a creature pretending
but i wish i knew how other people felt
how it would be to be well
like i can’t pretend that im good
if im not its like i should be better by now
like my brain should fix itself and be fine
but it hasn’t but hopefully i will be medicated soon
thankfully so
thankfully so
thankfully so
so i keep on living for a new day
i keep on breathing in the toxic waste
and i keep on waking up and living
getting up and feeling shitty
but i am here
thankfully so
thankfully so
bloodgirl has depression
cause without it she would simply be too strong
she needs a little bit of sadness to string her along
sometimes i pray to god and i apologise for everything
but then i realise he doesn’t exist and i am over it
saying that im fine made me realise that i wasn’t
made me realise that i haven’t been for long
so ive chosen to keep playing
in a game that i can’t win in
like im just support for others
or a creature pretending

guess who broke their streak after 9 pathetic weeks
guess im not as ok as i thought that i could be
i didn’t choose this life but it chose me
so tell me why is it my responsibility
i still do things im not allowed to do
like hit myself or take it out on you
i still cut my thighs now and then
and forget to take my medicine
lately i can’t convince myself that i am good deep down
nothing surprises me anymore
in my behaviour as a monster
nothing hurts me like the way that i hurt you
and if i killed myself would i hurt you more
or would you rather i was here this fucked up
always messing up you
always messing up me too
i didnt want this i hope you know that i did not
do you know that i am sadder right now
than i ever ever thought that i would be
who knew me before this shit
or has it always been like this
either way i cut myself today and i fucked up
cause i like you but thats the whole fucking problem
cause i dont know how to treat people i love so
i dont want to keep on loving you
cause its hurting me and also hurting you too
cause i can feel you slipping away
i can feel you slipping away
whys it like this?
it is hurting me which is hurting you
which is what i,what i always do
always fucking up somehow
i just wish that loving was not so fucking tough
but nothing is and thats why its unfair
cause i love you so so so much
and i am sorry that i love you
i am
i am
i am sorry that i can’t make you understand
you can’t read my mind and i can’t read yours
which should be alright but its hard of course
nothing ever is easy with me
but im sorry either way
either way
|

dont want bandaids or the pills
just an all-inclusive cure
something i can eat for breakfast
that will make me always sure
not doubting everything about everyone
about something dumb that i should've done
maybe thinking less is the cure i want
but its also all that i have become
thinking, always thinking
wished for a switch-off button to my brain
wished for hypnosis, wished for death
always wished more or less
but all i am is what i am not
never happy or good enough
i want the good things
the things i cannot have
what the sickness chose
that i should never get
fuck this brain, fuck fuckworld but i live here
in this prison of terminal illness nightmare
oh, im a cliché of myself
but i keep on writing whether you want me to or not
cause its the only thing that ive got
its the only thing that ive got
will you take what i give?
even if its pure toxic?
i promised to be better
while i kept on cutting
and i kept on isolating myself
even tho i knew it hurt you
and i see my mother in the mirror
and it fucks me up
cus im not what i want
or what anyone wants
cus im not what i want
or what anyone wants
im not what i want
or what anyone wants

copings often bad
01:09
|

stuffs weird right now my brain and i
are taking a tiny break
how friendships die and how doctors lie
and theres no more art to make
i collect a lot cus i feel sad a lot
and maybe hoarding is ok
and copings often bad but so is killing yourself
and im surviving so everythings is great
every bag of trash every box and stash
makes me overwhelmed and cry
like a rock i found that makes a special sound
just makes me wanna die now
and i was almost fine but now im not alright
and i dont know what happened there
but summer came around, hit me like a pow
and happy all but dissapeared
now im me again just your tired friend
just a blood girl with a frown
i promise im ok and if im not i will be
after all i am your clown

the bettering
02:40
|
|||
poisoning my body with bad things
like telling myself that i am not good even when i try
isnt that the same as doing drugs?
getting addicted to not being enough
cause now i’m so used to always making myself smaller
than most
than others
the outside world as i see it
the people i interpret to being healthier
and happier than i’ll ever be
and it is so sick to think that people hate me
and also thinking that maybe that would be better
cause i deserve to be alone
i hate getting used to being depressed
i wanna get used to feeling content
so i dont just accept this way that i behave
and can actually believe that things will be ok
if you’ve been untreated for 3 whole years
with therapists just screaming in your ears
that nothing is wrong and that you’re not depressed
its hard to get the courage to go through that again
or believe in any positive thinking shit
even if thats probably better i think
i’d rather drink a smoothie than kill myself
or do some yoga or whatever they think will help
often doesnt help
but i know im the responsible adult
when its in regards to my own being
i can’t pin everything on my new psychiatrist
take medication and think “now everything is fixed”
i gotta wake up
i gotta go to school
i gotta take showers
and act like its cool
i gotta treat myself like i’d treat a crying friend
tell her: hey dont worry, cus sadness will end
depression can be cured
and so can ocd
and so can many other mental illnesses,you see
nothing is permanent and even if it is
its your responsibility to tackle that shit
which i know you can
which i know i can
with this amount of tough skin and these walls
i wont let anything get to me i’ll claw my way out
i’m sometimes disappointed in how my life turned out
but existings kinda magical cause i can turn it all around
with the help of my friends
(and therapy and medication)
and especially my friends
i feel strong enough to face it
and its the end of 2017
i hope by the end of 2018
this song won’t be so sad
because i will look back and think
“holy shit i’m so fucking proud of myself for surviving this"

braindead
02:52
|
|||
i clog the toilet when i flush cus my apartments old and fucked up
i’ve stopped worrying too much yet i still worry quite a lot
i think im lonely but im not im just bored and i should shut up
i think im angry but its stuff like life that makes it hard to live it,right?
i know im not a monster but i still feel like a failure
theres a ratio thats off of me pretending to be healthier
i know im not the worst but its not like i am good
i just know i could be better if i tried to be like you
i know i know
you say that i am great in fact you say it constantly
i feel like after years of that it should’ve somewhat hit me
i am better now than ever but i still feel really scared
cus now i have something to lose if im not prepared
and now and now
i burn my tongue on soup and scratch the scab for days on end
i spit blood into the sink and it makes me want to kill myself
i fuck up my own body just to feel good for a sec
and theres is proof of that if you just look down on my legs
i was smoking outside when my cuts were peaking out my shorts
before i got them covered up a stranger sorta saw
it was a father and a child and he just gave a pity smile
it wasn’t really anything but made me want to cry
relapsing is hard but i haven’t talked about it after all
ive done this shit for so long i just dont think there is more for me
to say about how hard it is to only can relax when i
am digging a boxcutter into the skin on my thigh
and slitting slitting in the skin i always carry round with me
shitty shitty how this is the final skin ill ever see
i feel feel it when the blood is dripping down my pantyhose
its fitting fitting feels like this is something i deserve and so
the toilet doesn’t flush and i am sitting on the bathroom floor
stopped cutting in the bath cus it just makes me want to do it more
think im tired but im not i just haven’t eaten anything today
and life is tiring as fuck but i am doing it my way
im an addict for the pain and i lie when i complain
about the scars that im covered in the knife i carry with me everyday
i think my sentence is the pain and i like to hurt myself
im not unhappy all the time but i feel like its the only way
to feel like i am in control to get rid of all the thoughts
thats why i cut or smoke or squeeze the dirt from all my pores
its so much easier to hurt yourself than think of what you’re going thru
so i would rather sit braindead and bleed out every afternoon
every afternoon
every afternoon
every afternoon
every afternoon

the best that i can
02:27
|
|||
the more that i try
the harder it is to imagine getting better
the more that i try
the harder it is to pretend that i got it all together
and i cant pretend
and i cant hold on
it seems like i really cant do anything anymore
the hardest is yet to come
obviously
it never gets easier does it
the closer to dead
the less im aware
i lay in my bed in the smokiest air
i try to hold on to my friends and my hobbies
but the more depressed i am
the more i really cant
and i cant pretend
and i cant hold on
if i barely can exist
and i really cant exist
but im not letting go
i write songs but they're shit
im doing everything i can to get thru this
and i try the best that i can
but the less that i can
the more i stop trying
i want to pretend like
i know what i am doing
but fuck if i do
i dont know anything
highschool dropout soon
loser trying to prove
everyone wrong when they say i am good
im not good im not good im not good
im not
the more that i try
the harder it is to imagine getting better
the more that i try
the harder it is to pretend that i got it all together

sinking
02:53
|
|||
so this is the first time i dreamt that you raped me
im used to the nightmares i remember them faintly
i couldn’t breathe cause your body was too heavy
i tapped on your shoulder as to ask you to not break me
i woke up in cold sweats the dreamt lasted weeks
standing on the train station holding back tears
dream became reality and reality too real
so i just laid in silence and waited to not feel
and im pretending to be ok when i know that i am not
i am cutting so much lately everything i see is blood
and i am waiting at the bus stop i am sitting on a chair
everything around me is moving and im barely here
i skipped school again today
like all the other times
where i just choose to lay in bed
instead of waking up and doing things
and trying hard to reach within
to find a tiny piece of me
that isn’t too sick to live
living is a curse but i’ve committed to the crime
i am here and i am breathing i am doing my time
i am sick of all the waiting but i fear what will come next
id like to sit in peace and quiet with a clock that never ticks
and i am tired of my brain and i am tired of myself
i just lay in bed cus everything inside me is a mess
and nothing ever makes me happy except for slitting my own skin
even though i finally know why its the painfullest of sins
and im pretending to be sleeping when i know that i am not
as to rewrite my own dreams so once i’ve hopefully forgot
cus my brain likes to take good things i have and quickly make them rot
so i dont like to close my eyes cause everything i see is mud
i should just give up today
like all the other times where i just choose to lay in bed
instead of doing stuff and being happy
and having hope for something that maybe will come along
outta my brain like in this song i realise that im way more sad
than i would ever have known had i just stayed in my bed
watching stupid shows and pretending even to myself
cause i dont know how i can fix this shit
i dont know why im like this
depression is a hole
and no matter what i do i still sink
i still sink
i still sink

almost twenty
03:36
|
|||
there is someting and i am waiting
but i am losing my patience
everyday its like im in deep seas
cus i didn’t think that i would get this far
i am alive now im almost twenty
but i died when i was seven
now im zombie sleepwalking
going off on muscle memory alone
but all my muscles know is the abuse
how many people get to use and use
until the last drop hits and its too late
just how much pain can one person take
i am tired even sleeping
and i am fucked up from so deep in
i dont think ill get to feel things
that normal people do
like loving healthy like kissing plenty like happy wealthy in safe
like dreaming sweetly like feeling free in the brain
not evil and pain
and three years ago i said
that the reason not to kill myself
was then i could never feel the rain again
hear it drumming on the glass
laying in my bed at last
sleeping just sleeping just sleeping
with no questions asked
but now im older and i know that life has more
now im older and i know i can ask for more
i want the things that normal people take for granted
the happy life the safe life the boringness of the enchanted
cus i know that there is something
and im just so tired of waiting
is living even worth it if all i do is trying not to feel pain
if i had lived on back then would i still have a shot?
do i still have a chance to get all the things that i never got?

thankful
02:33
|
|||
i draw for the most part
survive for the rest
i have a thousand ton of cement hovering above my chest
i have bones meant for cracking
but i know its up to me
to choose the ways i want to skip to pursue the path to lead
and i have lots of things to say to you
and things to say to future me
and all the lives i lead before the year of 2019
im glad you didn’t die at thirteen
im glad i didn’t die too
cus if i did i wouldn’t have been around to eventually meet you
when you meet someone you know is special
brain stems from your brain they sense it
i became a whole new being
since our first magic meeting
i was born anew of sorts
learned what i am here for
i was so afraid of being
till i learned a human feeling
something i’ve been told is love
something that im thankful for
i paint all the things i like
but i also paint myself
i always hated looking at my face and mirrors was a hell
but now im really fascinated with the fact that i am real
that someone could just reach their hands out
and all my nerves would know to feel
im learning everyday about me
i am learning to give in
and just accept that things are precious
like my own shield of skin
i want to someday learn to love it
learn to not slice it in two
one day i will learn to love myself the way that i love you
when i meet someone i know is special
brain stems in my brain they sense it
i became a newborn being
learned that everything is fleeting
in a way that makes me certain
that i would like to stay
i was so afraid of being
till i learned a human feeling
something i’ve been told is love
something i am thankful for
something that is always present
stronger than my deep depression
when i sit and talk with you
my whole being is so thankful too

vampire
03:08
|

hold me closer wait until i break
i promise i was fine last week but now i am a mess
and i wish that i was better like the people on tv
they go outside and do shit and they dont have ocd
and i promise i was happy once,or maybe i was not
maybe ive been sad forever,isnt that fucked up?
i cant say: oh i miss the times where everything was great!
cus there has never been a year where things were just ok
my brain is messy it slathers slimey snot
i wish i had a scalpel so i could slice it all up
id sort it into pieces,the good and all the sad
id have like 20% left of things that arent bad
and i think that im annoying or maybe i am not
but everything i say always sound so fucking lost
i cling onto people with everything i got
hoping they wont squish me like a tiny nasty bug
cus i lure people in with my patheticness
then i run away cus i dont like myself
i go from being clingy to distant and it sucks
i wish that i was more than a little fucking bug
cus i lure people in with my patheticness
then i run away cus i dont like myself
i go from being clingy to distant and it sucks
i wish that i was more than a little fucking bug
hold my hand and then ill go away
ive sucked all of your lifestream out
and now you cant escape!
its like i am a vampire, i feel like im a thief
i steal peoples time because of all my needs
and im sorry i cant hear you when you tell me its not real
you tell me that you have no problem being there for me
cus my mirror tells me differently, it tells me i am fucked
it tells me im manipulating all the ones i love
and i make myself available for everyone to use
i never actually tell anyone if i need them too
cus im better at just wanting things but never speaking up
cus then i can just tell myself that it is all my fault
that i want all the things that i could never get
that i want a little break from my sicky brain
that i need a little hug so i can dissapear
i need a little hug to make me feel like i am here

worryless
02:41
|
|||
sucking air from a balloon when i finally cant breathe
and my body has given up and burst at the seams
if i dont give up now, will i just give up later?
is that how the world works, cus im just not getting better
can i blame it on anyone? cus i cant blame myself
thats what everyone tells me when i say i cant leave my bed
and i suppose that it is true somehow i didnt cause all this pain
but when it all comes down to it, it is my body and it is my brain
im sick of writing fucking songs that all sound the same
about death and life and feeling shit
and other stuff that i always say
what do people write about when they are not depressed?
heartbreak? friends? i dont ever do anything i just lay in bed
stupid stupid effort i put in
seeing cracks in my skin
purple marks that i create
purple darkness in my brain
cus when im really scared
i squeeze my eyes shut
but when its even worse
i open them up
and i look up to see nothing, nothing
and i look up to see nothing, nothing
and i look up to see nothing, nothing
there is nothing up there for me, sadly
is it glamorising my own pain
if i sometimes dream of being dead?
taking naps on clouds
and being completely worryless

today i had an anxiety attack in front of somebody
it began in my stomach then it went to my throat
then i sat on the floor and i thought “oh no”
my legs were shaking really hard
and i couldn’t swallow my spit
its times like these when i just feel
how much im completely out of it
today i had an anxiety attack and got comforted
i felt like screaming and crying but i didn’t, thank god
instead i just apologised a million times
if your bodys used to icy cold
then you never freeze, or so im told
and i am used to never feeling
so i just dont
even as im shaking
body quaking
bones that creek
when i move
eyes glazing
lips flaking
numb feet
when i should
get up and go, i dont know how to
my body doesnt work like a body should work
so i think ill be sick
or i think: this is it
the death of blood girl and her messed up head
the walls cave in
and the building stars crashing
apocalypse is nearing and i can’t do anything
but all that happens is i shake for a bit
an earthquake in my chest and it feels like shit
i’ve learned how to breathe thru all of it though
after some years you just start to know
and it does feels like an attack
like my body is just pulling a prank
like: there you go
now you know
how it feels before you die
