[Verse 1]

Starry eyed explorer found another flag to drop

In the form of loose pills to conquer her America

One straight to the head, a tight grasp towards her pocket:

An archetype for innocence with diamond eye sockets

No longer interested in soft words or sonnets

Only cares about the war she's lost and when she'll find her coffin

Will any words be etched in the granite to whisper her legacy?

A legend in her own terms utilizing Athena's jealousy

It's sad to see the day when the sky falls like this:

Clouds retreat to avoid the crash but comets will not miss

In that crater we will find a body if we're lucky

Label her a misfit and another helpless junkie

But I can see better, past black and white shades

Into the gray area in which her mind lays

And I don't think I can save her, but I hope that I'm led to

That little lonely girl just begging to be rescued

[Hook x2]

You don't have to go through this yourself

All you've got to do is ask for help

All you've got to do is ask for help

All you've got to do is ask for help

[Verse 2]

This fairy's broken wings don't flap like they used to

Writing diaries in angel dust but the meanings misconstrued

And after her pen bled all the ink that she could use

She starting using her own blood to write the feelings that she knew

Now the page is full and there's so much left to write

Carves the meaning of her story on her skin and swears that she's alright

It makes me see the world in a completely different light

I hate to see you hurt yourself but whatever helps you sleep at night

It's scary asking all the places that you've been

When rings aren't the only things that are piercing your skin

But you're having dreams now, so there's progress to attempt

The road to recovery is plagued with hurdles and missteps

And I am here to catch you if you ever start to trip

Help guide your arrow towards all the targets that you've missed

You can ask for anything, I'll do what I can

So don't be hesitant if you need a helping hand

[Hook x2]

You don't have to go through this yourself

All you've got to do is ask for help

All you've got to do is ask for help

All you've got to do is ask for help

The funeral was silent, sky was overcast

Cast over cloudy hearts and a less than sunny past

Sent shivers down our backs as wind whipped our spine

Standing shoulder to shoulder in a large circular line

Preacher said words from a bible, every one read

If God loves all his children then you have been adopted

Placed in a foster home, your self esteem depleted

Practically given up at birth, now I hope that you can see that:

The mistakes that they made were much more than monumental

You are living proof that life isn't always gentle

But you have your own touch have so much left to give

So many things to say and so much more life to live

We buried the body so nobody could see

The shell of what once was and who you used to be

And all you did was smile as we made our way home

To scribble I survived on your empty headstone
