Blessed Are The Cursed

lyrics

Behind sight to some it might be
but others its open for everyone to see
why does it unveil its self in such odd forms
whether its harm or eating disorders that to a body they deform
or tears that flow from the eyes of those who try
or screams that come from the ones who can’t seem to cry
now there is one result that is usually inevitable
the question is not why but when from those that life they can’t handle
thats final letter written that stands out
one that gets more attention then the others without doubt
yet doubt is something these words certainly contain
thoughts that show this life they couldn’t maintain

there are those who despise this feeling
they put on a guise to mask the absent healing
but there are others that lust for this hurt
grasping at something that makes them feel worthless
pretending is a cry for help for a problem they don’t even have
wishing for sadness as if its something to crave
one of those I am
I’ll admit to that I am
I want to seem more poetic
but I know that what I’m reaching for is pathetic
why do I think I deserve this melancholy lifestyle that I don't even live
when others this lifestyle they want nothing more than to rid of

Now to those who are truly depressed
or have feelings that you have repressed
I commend you
more accurately my heart breaks for you
I want to say i have been there
I’ll try to say some kind words to sound sincere
but I haven’t been in your shoes
I've never really thought of my life as something to lose
but I love you and wish you the best
I hope that you find what you are searching for inside your chest
cause there is something beautiful in sadness
maybe thats why I want this sullen madness
but let me tell you one thing
happiness is relative and with that I'm not lying
I want to be like you and the simple reason is
with a broken heart there is something left to fix
now let me finish with this
those who know nothing but heartache and loneliness
you are the ones who are truly blessed
