I'm not sixteen
I'm above the crowd
I don't care what 'they' do
I don't care how I sound.
Have you ever wanted
Have you ever dreamed
Of slicing yourself so deep
You'll plunge over the edge?
Not me.
Never me.
I lied.
I'm lying.
The world is full of 'sinners'
My mind is full of 'sins'
What are you going to do,
Take away my preservation?
You say this makes no sense-
Climb into my mind
Read my thoughts and analyze
You'll never make it out alive.
I'm not sixteen
I'm beyond the crowd
I don't care what 'they' say
I don't care how I sound.
Voices in my mind
Fighting for control
Voices in my heart
Vying for my soul.
You think I'm going crazy?
I say I've already gone.
You're keeping me locked up.
You hear my fists upon the door.
I'm not crazy
Never have been
I'm perfectly sane-
At least on the skin...
Leave me alone
Just let me confess!
There is no god
For I've just killed myself.
I'm not sixteen
I'm not alone-
I don't care what you think
I'm not on my own.
