Tell me all about it
Your demons living in
Your pain crawling in your skin
Their words digging in
Strip of off your clothes
But leave your sleeves on
So I can read your heart
And see how much you've been hurt
Drop all your excess baggage
To lessen the emotional damage
So I can tell you how light it feels
And how much pain it steals
Took off everything except the sleeves
And be naked in front of me
So I can see all your scars
And the stories it carves
Anxiety leads to panic attacks
The self-inflicted wounds and cuts
Don't be afraid and tell me everything
I'll refer to your old scars as engravings
