Hand in Hand

A shroud around my head that stops me seeing
That bloodstains on my bed are not okay

It suffocates the sensible and wise in me
From taking all the razorblades away

I cannot see that I have got a problem
I only feel my neverending pain

They tell me but denial is my answer
I make an empty promise once again

Coz when I feel the pain that I've inflicted
My slumber ends and I can be awake

I needn't try to hide and be so perfect
With razor-friends you don't have to be fake

Theres nothing wrong with letting me be natural
If it means I slit my wrists and cry a tear

Don't tell me how to live a perfect life 'cause
Me and denial, hand in hand, we have no fear
