I wish I could brand the word

VICTIM on your forehead,

So that all may see.

Cry, cry, my darling.

It's all you ever do.

You say your parents hate you.

You say school is too hard.

You say the only thing that cures you

Is the pain.

You laugh,

You laugh,

You laugh.

You victimize yourself.

It makes me feel better, you say.

It makes me happy.

You cry,

You cry,

You cry.

You victimize yourself.

Keep the others out,

Then wail that nobody likes you.

Cry that you have no friends after

Pushing all away.

You laugh,

You laugh,

You laugh.

You victimize yourself.

You draw patterns up and down your arms,

Draw them in blood,

And whisper to me in the darkness

Of their hidden beauty.

You lie,

You lie,

You lie,

You whimper,

As I tell you the truth.

You victimize yourself, my darling.

Cry, cry, it's all you ever do.

You hold the knife,

And want to take it all away.

You're really a fool, you know that?

You're choosing death.

You're making the biggest mistake of your life.

It's your final plea for attention,

Your final call to be named a victim.

It's your final.

It's your final.

You victimize yourself,

And this isn't the answer.

School doesn't mean death.

Unless your parents truly hurt you,

Rather than say,

It's too late to go to the movies,

Then shut up and listen to their words.

Once upon a time,

They were you.

Life sucks is not a cause of death.

I want out is not a reason for pain.

Pain cures you?

Then live through it,

You self-made victim.

You have so much to live for.

Get over yourself.

This isn't depression,

It's stupid.

In the end it won't be you who suffers,

But me.

I don't like the pain,

So shut up and stop because all you ever do

Is victimize yourself.

It's going to be a tragedy,

And I won't back down.

Put the knife down,

And breathe for a moment.

You breathe,

You breathe,

You breathe.

You victimize yourself.

I wish you'd think, too.

But you don't,

And that makes me sad.

Pain cures you?

Then live through it,

You self-made victim.

I wish I had a branding iron

With that word.

Because that's what you are.

I wish…

I wish you'd listen.

You cry,

You cry,

You cry.

You victimize yourself.
