I try to hide,
I try to run
I try to fight
I try to shoot the gun.
never felt so lonely
never felt so cold
never had the power
to block out all the words.
i'm black and blue
i'm hurtin'
try to block the pain
but it's not workin'
i'm black and blue
i'm hurtin'
try to block the pain
but it's not workin'
tears streaming down my face
blocking out the faces
but still I hear the words
commenting on my braces,
laughing at my hair
kicking me were it most hurts
never noticing my despair.
i try to pull the trigger
i try to cut my skin
never once realising
this is not my fault
but the world i'm living in.
i'm black and blue
and hurtin'
try to block the pain
but it's not workin'
I let darkness consume me
knowing i would not return
i embrace the sweet relief of death
and let everyone burn.
i'm black and blue
and hurtin'
try to block the pain
but it's not workin'
no, it's not working ...
