Not like this, falling down
Lost her strength, so profound
No life left, crumbled down
Injecting poison that she found
Lost her faith, curse the skies
Tears will flow, from her eyes
Shouldn't be a surprise
The world forgets her as she dies

Could a meal heal what she feels living like a movie reel
Why heal when she can't feel? Why feel if she's not real?
She cut up both her thighs while she's feeding herself lies
All the people pass her by while she slowly starts to die
Knowing this and planning this I couldn't let her slit her wrist
Knowing that I shouldn't, f*ck it man I will resist
Everybody says I'm worthless, everybody go to hell
It's my chance to do this dance and f*cking just rebel

I intervened, Against the judgment that I hold deep inside
I intervened, Knowing that I shouldn't fills me with pride
I intervened, It'd ridiculous that we need this dance
I intervened, you know the girl deserves a second chance

Doesn't matter what you think you're standing at the brink
No one will even care if you fade with a blink
I know that you don't know me but you gotta trust me now
You can't survive out on these streets so let me show you how
First you gotta get some shelter cuz you gotta break the wind
Now you gotta find a food source, just remember where you've been
It might be a finger discount stuffing food up in your coat
But if this sh*t's for survival, best believe it's got my vote

I intervened, Against the judgment that I hold deep inside
I intervened, Knowing that I shouldn't fills me with pride
I intervened, It's ridiculous that we need this dance
I intervened, you know the girl deserves a second chance

Did, you ever really know
About a f*cking thing
Like my life it never really mattered to me
I only really cared
About myself because
I'm broken and I need to really be repaired
I need to care about
Something deep inside
All I seem to see is what I am without
I only know that I
Am never standing tall
I'm fighting here only to build up to the fall
