Characters I Drew

I feel sick

I needed to tell someone

That's you

Thanks for listening

I've been reading on the internet about

Self-destructive tendencies, say that out loud

Hurting yourself, cause you don't know what else to do

When you're scared

So afraid that you can't breathe

So alone but so in need

So I start

Talking to the paintings on the walls

Characters I drew when I was bored

Back then they meant nothing at all

But now they're there to stop me from falling

Without them there I know I'd be bawling

My eyes out through the night to the morning

They're calling me to not give up

To not give up, to not give up

To not give up

I'm not well

I tried to tell my friend

But he didn't hear what I said

Thanks for listening

I've been spending too much time just thinking 'bout

Knives, ropes, bridges and just stepping out

Onto packed freeways

I need saving

So I start

Talking to the paintings on the walls

Characters I drew when I was bored

Back then they meant nothing at all

But now they're there to stop me from falling

Without them there I know I'd be bawling

My eyes out through the night to the morning

They're calling me to not give up

To not give up, to not give up

To not give up

And I stare at them

And they come alive

No they stay on the page but they're walking around in my mind

And they smile at me

And ask me to dance

For a second I'm not just alone

No I'm safe in their hands

So I start

Talking to the paintings on the walls

Characters I drew when I was bored

Back then they meant nothing at all

But now they're there to stop me from falling

Without them there I know I'd be bawling

My eyes out through the night to the morning

They're calling me to not give up

To not give up, to not give up

To not give up

So I'll try

To hold onto my sanity

The painting's been to good to me
