You Don't Know Me

I feign ignorance, put up a face you'd believe could never do wrong Do you know me? Barely a score I've been touched and felt in places unknown And yes, I've always wanted more I take substances to elevate my mood, to kill the pain, to relax, to unwind I write depressing poems to fill to the void Only to empty my heart right again I have been to places I should not be caught dead in I tell lies to get out of situations, don't we all? I have played with hearts, toyed with emotions Don't get me wrong, I'm changing I've lived my youth to the full I've had a jolly good time of my life The drugs, the weed, the boys Been there, done that Now do you know me? Nope, not well enough Beneath the surface lies a heart writhing in pain Both emotional and physical Beneath my skin, flowing through my veins runs the devil's blood-black blood I might be fuelled by hate, anger, pain Yet I feel love and happiness on good days Don't judge me by
