Bleed

One shot for family
One shot for friends
No matter who you drink for
Its the same in the end

So drunk, depressed and bored
You'll turn to the blade
It brings the much needed peace
That you try to evade

It'll streak before it clots
And you'll bleed for a while
But you don't mind the damage
To yourself or the tiles

You tell yourself you need this
Without it you couldn't be you
But you just want happiness
And it's not the reasons the others do

It's not for respect
Not to fit in
It's because you're dying
Dying from within

You believe in the result
That occurs in your heart
The one that says you'll make it
Before you're buried in the dark
