My parents, oh my dear parents
_____
I haven't told you anything all this time
_____
My parents, oh my dear parents
_____
My middle school, my battle cry
_____
Beneath my classmates' laughter
_____
I hid my scratches
_____
They spat in my face
_____
They loved breaking records
_____
They hit me even harder
_____
They hit me even harder
_____
My parents, oh my dear parents
_____
I haven't told you anything all this time
_____
I was the loser, I was the idiot
_____
I prayed they'd leave me alone
_____
For the whole school I was the target
_____
So I always stayed alone
_____
And it served my sorry face right
_____
And it served my sorry face right
_____
My parents, oh my dear parents
_____
I haven't told you anything all this time
_____
Small needle between my fingers
_____
I mutilated my forearms
_____
The harm I could do myself
My youthful suicidal urges
_____
Today the grass has grown back
_____
Life came to take revenge
_____
Even though the wounds stayed
_____
Etched at the bottom of every page
_____
My middle school, my battle cry
_____
My middle school, my battle cry
_____
My parents, oh my dear parents
_____
My parents, oh my dear parents
_____
My parents, oh my dear parents
_____
My parents, oh my dear parents
