Plunge

Location

You are hurt so you hurt yourself

Just when you thought

Just once

Just one time

Powder your nose

Heat your spoon

Plunge

Killing yourself

To escape

Now you have more to escape

 

You are hurt so you hurt yourself

You don’t care

Or maybe

Maybe you care

Sometimes you do

You don’t know yourself

And when I look at you

I feel your weakness

But I wouldn’t ever know

What it is like to be that broken

You consume yourself

 

You are hurt so I try to pick you up

I want to be the strong one

How can I help

If I could just change

If I could help you get away

I would get away with you

I am lost so I help you

We escaped
