Home for the Shattered

Cut a little deeper
Get a little higher
Drift a little farther
And your scars might fade

Drop your trauma-
And with it, your life-
In the bottle
And chug it down
Maybe they'll get off your mind

Cleanse out the bad
From your blood
Cut a few more times
Until you're empty
Perhaps it'll disappear like your life

Smoke it, snort it,
Inject the happiness
And block out the pain
Along with your mind
And it could leave you

You'll force yourself out
Out of your own life
Until you're too far
When you call for help
So you go to the home for the shattered
