2,020 Knives

As a child
I cried myself to sleep at
Night was a brief escape
No idea why I felt so
Torn away from the lives around me
Couldn't understand what they wanted
From me
I felt so alone

This world is all I know
But it is not my home

I don't belong in this world
Is there another way
I don't belong in this world
I tried so hard to stay
I don't belong in this world
Can you understand?
I don't belong in this world
I don't know what I am

Secretly
I dreamt of a place far away
Every time that I woke
I could feel the hole in me
And I tried to keep it contained
Pleading for comfort that would stay

I woke from a dream
Of somewhere that made sense
No words for it
Just static in my head

(Everything burnt blue around me)
I know
(held aloft by voltage coursing)
There was
(then I knew that there'd been a mistake)
Hope
(I'm not supposed to be here)
Some kind
(I was laughing when you found me)
Of home
(tore away the veil from something)
Where is
(why do I remember this?)
Home?
(This can't be right...)

I don't belong in this world
Is there another way
I don't belong in this world
I tried so hard to stay
I don't belong in this world
Can you understand?
I don't belong in this world
I don't know what I am

I don't belong here
I don't belong
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go

Let me go
