Take a Penny, Leave a Scar.
I'm just a number,
Put me in the back.
One of these days,
I swear I'll fucking snap.
Always keeping it in,
Forever pushing it down.
One day I'll strike this match
And burn this place to the ground.
Empathy is a curse,
A color I wear well.
I'm sick of always wondering
How other people feel.
I don't take care of myself,
I just bury my own bone.
I'm always there for everyone
But I'm always left alone.
It's not fair ya know,
I always do my best.
Maybe someone does care
But I'm ignored by the rest.
My feelings don't matter,
My heart has been hurting.
Every time I open up
I'm treated as a burden.
Everyday gets better,
Fuck I wish that was true.
Another minute goes by
And I just feel more blue
I have no patience left.
I really just want to leave.
If tomorrow I'll be gone
Would you even miss me?
