Anemic - The Answer lyrics

[Verse 1] Bullying's happening world-wide, nobody knows how to solve it Constant problems, and cases of suicide, people just can't get the solace That they need, they're just pleading for a better time A point in life where they aren't picked on and the hate can sublime Fade away, this is a victim's life, he goes by Cory Although he went through struggles, he fought to live to tell the story Wanted to prevent this kind of sh** any time in the future Sometimes thinking it's useless but these people have gotta handle it smoother His walls are closing in, he's got no room to move Trapped by words, unhealthy mental state, everything to lose It's not news to Cory that he's constantly being bullied His mom talks sh**, his peers pick on him 'cause they don't understand his life fully He doesn't know how to cope as if he's lost all hope But nope, he's just gonna stop the urges now and mope He knows it'll go away sooner or later and that his life will maybe get better He's just gotta think to himself that pain doesn't last forever He's been confused for days, bullying's left him phased In the haze of the pain, his resilience up to this day has left himself amazed How he's gone this far through hearing words that hurt Being beat day after day, it's making his state worse All he can do is pray and hope his resilience doesn't stop He's gotta keep his bit of strength up, he's stronger than he thought His mind told him "Just end yourself, and just make the pain go away" But in tears, his gut and his heart says "You can't just go that way" He's thinking to himself on why it'd be selfish Just because people make him feel like sh**, but let's be honest, he can't help this Every time someone calls him a little p**y, he just starts to cry And gets insulted even more, and that's right when the thoughts strike Battling himself, internal conflict sounds like nonsense He only ever had one friend by his side who gave him content But he was gone, on vacation, the only one who calmed him down He's freaking out with the sh** he feels, who will calm him now? Cory brought this to his counselor asking what to do But the advice was "Tell us who it is" as if he knew He was clueless to the fact that it would only go from bad to worse If he snitches, he'll be called a b**h and a prick, and jammed in a locker head first He refused to tell him, and let the thoughts just run through his mind Inclined to remind himself why he should be alive What he'd lose if he died right now So his mind and his heart told him to live and made a vow But one day, he went to school, teachers treating him differently "Sensitive" since they knew his issues But incidentally, the bullies knew too Came up to him said "listen, talk again and we'll leave you in stitches" Slammed him against a locker, no teachers were present On the floor in tears, ran out the school, maybe home will be more pleasant Nope, he was dead wrong, his mom asked why he cut cla** He mentioned the bullies, she told him to get over it then beat his a** He was in bruises, didn't have a clue what to do Would've called Child Services, but they couldn't afford phone service So he just ran from his mother and locked himself in his room Pouring tears, counted the scars on his wrist, one for every time pain was consumed Grabbed the knife and watched it as it slowly bled No roses come from this pain, just some fluids that made his wrist red He can't go back to school and couldn't go to a friend's He was beat if he stayed home, and his strength has reached in end It was about 10 am, so he walked outside in the peaceful planes Calm terrain, walked by some rail road tracks by a street lane About every day at that time, a train came by The thing making him happy at the same was the beautiful skies It made him smile, he watched cars drive by before the train sounded Cory took out his old phone, recorded something, darkness surrounded him Crying, he jumped in front of the train and k**ed himself Took his life, his questions unanswered "Why do people bully?" and "Will I go to Hell?"
