I Know Why
I know why people sip on cyanide.
I know why nooses are weaved.
I know why blood is spilled.
I know why little girls scream.
I know why we jump off cliffs.
I know why we don't care.
I know why we die with eyes wide open.
I know why there's nothing there.
I know why you hate me.
I know why I screw up.
I know why I'm hollow inside.
I know why we're covered in cuts.
I know why we can't see anything anymore.
I know why we don't feel.
I know why we destroy ourselves.
I know why we don't know what's real.
I know why don't have life in our smiles.
I know why we only have sockets for eyes.
I know why I can't feel you anymore.
I know why you tell your lies.
I know why time can't stop.
I know why we're stuck.
I know why I lost you.
I know why I cried when we fucked.
I know why you ran away.
I know why I watched you run.
I know why you're just a memory.
I know why this hell has just begun.
I know why I picked tonight.
I know why I choose the pills.
I know why I escaped the pain.
I know why the last thing I thought about was the way your skin feels.
I know why you came today.
I know why you cried.
I know why I didn't leave a note.
I know why you came to say goodbye.
I know why you're not coming back.
I know why you don't feel so much sorrow.
I know why you're moving on.
Because you're the one that made it to tomorrow.
I know why nooses are weaved.
I know why blood is spilled.
I know why little girls scream.
I know why we jump off cliffs.
I know why we don't care.
I know why we die with eyes wide open.
I know why there's nothing there.
I know why you hate me.
I know why I screw up.
I know why I'm hollow inside.
I know why we're covered in cuts.
I know why we can't see anything anymore.
I know why we don't feel.
I know why we destroy ourselves.
I know why we don't know what's real.
I know why don't have life in our smiles.
I know why we only have sockets for eyes.
I know why I can't feel you anymore.
I know why you tell your lies.
I know why time can't stop.
I know why we're stuck.
I know why I lost you.
I know why I cried when we fucked.
I know why you ran away.
I know why I watched you run.
I know why you're just a memory.
I know why this hell has just begun.
I know why I picked tonight.
I know why I choose the pills.
I know why I escaped the pain.
I know why the last thing I thought about was the way your skin feels.
I know why you came today.
I know why you cried.
I know why I didn't leave a note.
I know why you came to say goodbye.
I know why you're not coming back.
I know why you don't feel so much sorrow.
I know why you're moving on.
Because you're the one that made it to tomorrow.
