Sharp Objects is a song detailing Sybyr and shy’s experiences with self-harm and suicidal ideation.
Sybyr has previously mentioned his self-harm tendencies on tracks released under his former alias, MacXVII, such as “1449” or “Lame”.
1449:
Sometimes I just wanna die, cut myself a couple times
La...
[Intro: Sybyr]
Uh, ah-yuh
Syringe
[Verse 1: Sybyr]
I still remember that day, I fuckin' cut myself
Got up out of bed, first object I saw, I let it shred
Everything was weird, everything was bright
Everything was shinin' as I bleed upon the sunlight, damn right
Two days before eighteen (Yeah), just a new activity (Yeah)
Didn't know what else to do, thinkin' this bitch rejected me (Yeah)
Certain it was part of the cause but not enough to get to cuttin' (No, no)
Shit was circlin' my head, wantin' people to find me dead, like (Uh)
Open up the door (Yeah), find my body on the floor
You thought that I was sleepin' but death lurkin' and creepin'
Confused for no reason (Yeah), everything was good the other day (Yeah)
Now imagine why I'm makin' different plans to get away
[Chorus: Sybyr & shy]
Slit my arms, lookin' to get away
Didn't want to live, I'm lookin' to get away, ayy
Slit my arms, lookin' to get away (Ayy)
Didn't want to live, I'm lookin' to get away, ayy (Okay, okay, okay)
[Verse 2: shy]
I wanted to get away
Death seemed like it was the perfect way
I kept tellin' myself, "It'll be alright"
But I knew I probably won't make the night
So I did it, and I did it again
My wrist so damn bloody, I couldn't pretend
That the scars of my deeds would go away
They'd scare away girls as my body decayed
God, why you gotta put me in this situation?
Red water drippin' all over, my mind is racin'
Drop me in a world where there's nowhere to hide
No one to trust, nowhere that I can confide
She told me it would be okay
But she saw my arms and then she ran away, okay
Lay my body down, won't you let me lay?
Just forget me for today, I'm too caught up in my own dismay
[Chorus: Sybyr]
Slit my arms, lookin' to get away
Didn't want to live, I'm lookin' to get away, ayy
Slit my arms lookin' to get away
Didn't want to live, I'm lookin' to get away, ayy
Sharp Objects was produced by Landfill.
Sybyr released Sharp Objects on Sat Sep 26 2015.
