Bridge
Girl lost, girl tossed
Herself off the cliff in her mind
Thought of this shit like one thousand times
What she would write in her final lines
It's suicide
But not to her; to her, it's the only hope in her life
If it all goes nose dive, she knows she can nose dive
Off a cliff, and die
It's her delight
Shit, ain't it fucked
Kid's 15, ready to duck
Outta this world, deuces
She don't believe in that crucifix
Not trying to check into heaven
Just wanna disappear into that header
Of the latest news' obituary
Next day she's a myth like a pixie fairy
She's gone
Verse 1
Take a look around
All these kids, they lookin' down
All these kids, they crackin'
Self esteem, that shit they lackin'
Look in the mirror, feelin' disgusted
Put on that smile, them teeths is bustin'
Truth is kept in, they are bluffin'
For your protection, they don't want nothin'
In truth they want change
But they're way too scared to admit it
Feel like you won't accept how they feelin'
Feel like you'll up and reject whats killing em
Saying it's their fault
When they already blame themselves
Be helpful, tell em you're there for them
Tell em everybody feels overwhelmed
But first, ya'll need to look around
Cause truth, it might not be obvious
That kid with that posture, holdin' it tall
Is breakin', ya'll oblivious
Chorus
Pay attention, look around, it ain't all what it seems
These past years came up and spiked depression in our teens
Xanax and sharp knives, we all got different ways
Open your eyes, look for the signs, save a life today
Cause all around I see fallen angels
Wings torn off, hung by the cables
Why, shit why
Why does no one notice they fallin'
I know they act happy, you fall for it
Can't you see that practiced smile
Oblivious
Verse 2
One of my friends, happiest kid on Earth
Was even happier when he got her
Till the day when he got hurt
Till the day when she ripped his heart out through his shirt
Tears on the dirt
Didn't do nothing
Grabbed that kitchen blade
Brought the hurt, to his tough skin
It's my fault
I should've known that it was comin'
Should've see the pain in his eyes
I should have done something
I should have done something
I wish I did something
But I didn't
Didn't stop it
I didn't know
I'm sorry
Just know, that if I knew
I would've done anything, to keep you
Away from there
Away from the drawer where they kept it
Away from the thoughts of the whore
Please, forget her
It ain't worth it
And the stainless don't make it perfect
I'm sorry
Chorus
Pay attention, look around, it ain't all what it seems
These past years came up and spiked depression in our teens
Xanax and sharp knives, we all got different ways
Open your eyes, look for the signs, save a life today
Cause all around I see fallen angels
Wings torn off, hung by the cables
Why, shit why
Why does no one notice they fallin'
I know they act happy, you fall for it
Can't you see that practiced smile
Oblivious
Verse 3
I know you feel alone, trust me
I have been there
I been scared
Head under water, gaspin'
I didn't inhale
I tried to close my eyes
I tried to block it out
I tried to let the water rise
Wash away what I had felt
But it didn't work
And yeah it hurt
I wanted the end
More pages came
More days of shame
More days of pain
More days of me just hatin' days
But somewhere amidst the weeks
I found hope in all the madness
I stopped waitin for them to see
I went and told em about my sadness
And it helped, I swear to you, I mean it
Stop waitin for them to notice, and just come out with the secret
Please
Chorus (2)
Pay attention, look around, does it all seem so bad
These past years been hard I bet, but you're still here to stand
Xanax and sharp knives, yeah you've tried and tried
But if you take one second to step back, you'll see there's people by your side
You just need to open your mouth
Stop hiding behind them walls
And bathroom stalls
And smiles that you have to practice and perfect all night long
I'm here for you
And I'm willing to bet there are others too
Why do you keep em oblivious
Come out with the truth
