Sleeves

Verse 1]
Last night, wasn't my best night
My wrist lookin like I got into a bear fight
I'm kinda scared cause I really don't feel right
I mean, is everything supposed to be this bright?
I might pass out this time
And I'm having flashbacks of my timeline
Yo, I'm thinking that these cuts are way too deep
Please help me, I don't want to fall asleep
And that's when I heard the call on my phone
So I picked up cause I'm all alone
And you didn't even know, you were just at home
So I put it to my ear and said "Hello?" (Hey, what's up man?)
And you asked me if I was okay, then I said "no"
And I really ?
Then you told me you were headed my way
How did you know that I needed to say
I'm just glad that it wasn't too late

[Chorus]
Do you know why I'm a mess?
I'm never out of bed
It's all inside my head
And on the stereo
The song I listen while I bleed
I hope I never breathe
The way you look at me
You look right through my sleeves
Do you know why I'm a mess?
I'm never out of bed
It's all inside my head
And on the stereo
The song I listen while I bleed
I hope I never breathe
The way you look at me
You look right through my sleeves

[Bridge]
Tell me how you do it though
Girl, I really wanna know
It's not like I'm that public, yo
I'm never on the radio
You treat my sleeve just like a ghost
But how could you know?
Can you see my cuts?
Do you watch them grow?

[Verse 2]
If it wasn't for you I'd be 6 feet deep
I'm strong now, but I once was weak
You know I'm hurting when we still don't speak
Your eyes froze from the blood in the sink
I'm sorry that I put you through this
But I promise that I'm on a new movement
I might fall, but I know I won't lose it
So I thank you, and look, imma prove it

[Chorus]
Do you know why I'm a mess?
I'm never out of bed
It's all inside my head
And on the stereo
The song I listen while I bleed
I hope I never breathe
The way you look at me
You look right through my sleeves

[Outro - Spoken]
Like, I don't promote self violence
I mean, I'm actually very against it
But it is a part of my past
And it's something that I had to fight through
And if you're someone that was like me
And you're depressed and you're low
Just know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel
It might be far away, but you can reach it, and you can do it
I believe everyone is worth a life
And everyone is beautiful in their own way
So, if you're down
Just know that you can get through this
And you will make it

[Chorus]
Do you know why I'm a mess?
I'm never out of bed
It's all inside my head
And on the stereo
The song I listen while I bleed
I hope I never breathe
The way you look at me
You look right through my sleeves
