A Fresh New Slit

About a girl who is saved after almost ending her life.
She's sitting on a bench
Staring at the sky
Thinking to herself at night
Of the many ways to die

She's counting the scars
As shes counting the stars
And she makes a fresh new slit
As she digs herself in the pit

She thinks its finally over
She thinks her job is done
She writes good-bye to all her friends
All the people who tried to shun

Shes rushed to the emergency room
Her mom is by her side
She hears her father screaming
"OH MY GOD SHE COULD HAVE DIED!"

Thank god we caught it early
There's so much we could do
Her friends are by her side
All saying "I love you"

All she has to say is
Thanks
Thanks for loving me true
An sticking by my side
Until I love me too.
