Suicidal Tendencies

this is a song i wrote for someone very close to my heart.

I can see him sitting there

Putting on a show

Pretending that there’s nothing wrong

But You and I we know

Underneath his smile

There’s all this pain inside

He’s felt abuse

He’s seen death

And been used

Until there’s nothing left

 

 

(chorus)

Am I the only one who knows?

The only one who sees?

This boy is so much more than

Who he claims to be

Am I the only one who knows?

The only one who sees?

Beneath the mask he wears

There’s suicidal tendencies

 

Now he’s on his way home

Dreading every step

Praying that there’s no one there

But he already knows

They’re waiting to scream at him

And tear apart his life

He runs upstairs

Shuts the door

And cuts himself

Lord, this boy needs help

 

(Chorus)

 

Lord I wanna help him

Save him

Give him a reason

Someone to believe in

Lord, I wanna show him

You want to know him

You’re so much bigger

He can be delivered

Lord I wanna tell him

How much I love him

He can overcome those

Suicidal tendencies

Tugging at the strings.
Pulling out those things
buried deep in my heart

It's so hard,
from this sadness, to part
and it all seems so dark
when you're on your own

but to see the light
and feel His might
He will pick you up, bring you out of night
and carry you home.

Juli. This = Amazing.
Sad. Powerful. Touching. Inspiring.
It inspired that thing I wrote up there just now.
It was like, super cool.
Like, right when I read your song,
it just started flowing.
