What if it was you
With the scars on your wrists
Bones showing through your skin
______________________________
What if it was you
Bruises on your arms
Afraid to look inside
You can’t speak your mind
_____________________________
What if it was you
Sitting all alone
Just staring out the window
Watching the world go by
_____________________________
What if it was you
Not able to see a friend
Not able to hear their voice
_____________________________
What if it was you
The picture’s distorted
The smoke blurs your mind
_____________________________
What if it was you
The liquor on our breath
Your friends steer clear
Absorbing all your fear
_____________________________
What if it was you
You can’t clear your head
You’re chained to a wall
_____________________________
What if it was you
The voices are screaming
You’re losing your mind
You try to run
You try to hide
You can’t escape yourself
_____________________________
What if it was you
_____________________________
…
_____________________________
“But it’s not”
You say
“It’s him”
“It’s her”
“They’re the ones with the problems.”
“Not me.”
_____________________________
But just imagine in your mind
_____________________________
What if it was you
