Beneath The Skin

Another day she sets foot in this prison, dreading what they'll say
So much to give, but no one ever listens
She dreams of running away
Crippled by the way they make her feel, she takes a look at her wrists & turns to the blade
It's not a cry for attention if she just wants to feel anything other than the pain
Everyone deserves to be loved, but they make her hate everything she was sure of!
Every day feels like her against the world
Now she's afraid she'll never be enough.

[Chorus:]
No one knows all the weight that she holds when she feels alone
The memories, they haunt her
No one sees all the pain she brings everywhere she goes
She feels they'll never want her.

She dreams of a day when she won't have to cry herself to sleep
Staring at the scars on her wrists she knows this is not who she wants to be
Another night all alone with her thoughts, dwelling on the questions that race through her head
Scared to sleep, scared to wake up & face the day when she can't forget the things that they said.

[Chorus]

All she wants is someone to notice; so sick of feeling invisible.
All she needs is someone to care.
If only they could see that she's incredible.
She dreams of a day when she won't have to cry herself to sleep.
Is our generation too blind to see true beauty lies beneath the skin?
So ignorant!
Are they too cold, too numb to see the lifelong effects of the pain they inflict?
Is our generation too blind to see true beauty lies beneath the skin?

[Chorus]

No one sees all the pain she brings everywhere she goes
She feels they'll never want her
All she wants is someone to notice; so sick of feeling invisible
All she needs is someone to care
If only they could see that she's incredible
She dreams of a day when she won't have to cry herself to sleep
Staring at the scars on her wrists she knows this is not who she wants to be.
