Tonight (song)
Took a look at myself in the mirror
Couldn't find a reason to be happy with what I see
I see the scars of my past, they run so deep
There's no need to make it last, and...
Tonight I thought about the death of my spirit,
Tonight suicide crossed my mind
Tonight my anger passed the line,
Oh, tonight my shame prevailed.
People have these conclusions they draw about me,
They don't seem to understand,
How can that be, when all I see is me,
But not too clearly through the tears, and...
Tonight I thought about the death of my spirit,
Tonight suicide crossed my mind
Tonight my anger passed the line,
Oh, tonight my shame prevailed.
The scars on the outside, they'll eventually heal,
But the scars on the inside, they'll always remain real...
Tonight I thought about the death of my spirit,
Tonight suicide crossed my mind
Tonight my anger passed the line,
Oh, tonight my shame prevailed.
Took another drop on the bottle,
Clutched my blade like a throttle,
Watching the crimson river flow,
As the world revolves I fall to the floor,
Oh.....
Tonight I thought about the death of my spirit,
Tonight suicide crossed my mind
Tonight my anger passed the line,
Oh, tonight my shame prevailed.

I've just read your song and it touched me in such a way that I can't even find the right words at this moment in time. For the last few months I've been self harming and whilst it started out with me wanting to kill myself like I have done for years due to my manic depression, I decided to break a glass and cut my arms and as you and only people like you can understand it felt like some kind of emotional relief when I saw the blood. After that, I didn't have any glasses so I started going out and buying razor blades and sitting every night just cutting away at my left arm then after a bad phone call one day in which I was cutting whilst on the phone, I took the razor blade and just went mad on my right arm so now I do the two and I use the big double edged blades and I only get happy the deeper I can cut and the more blood I produce, the more I laugh. That's pretty fucked up isn't it. Anyway I just started using the internet at the library along from my flat(I stay in Glasgow)and I came across this website and I was reading through all the journal entries, poems, songs etc...and your song Tonight is simply amazing. You sure have a talent for writing. I write a lot myself and if I'd wrote that, I'd be really pleased with myself. Anyway I hope you get this and you have my e-mail if you fancy getting in touch (I'm 31 incase your wondering) but I'm going through so much shit at the minute it would be cool to talk to someone else who feels like I do. See ya later and take care of yourself.
Luv Stu
