The Corner - Catrien Maxwell (Original Song)

Please forgive the quietness. Everyone in the house is sleeping.

School can be a complete nightmare, and when I think of my years there I think of darkness. To this day, nothing has ever made me more miserable than school. I 100% DO NOT condone school shootings and whatnot. I know I mention that in this song, but I want to make it clear that I would never in a million years consider such a thing, and it makes me sick to my stomach to know that people actually plan it and follow through. I added it in for the sake of showing that some people really do that, and to get the anger/sorrow across and how it can lead to extremes.

P.S. How cute is Suki all snuggled up?! I didn't even realize she was there until I watched the video back. =)

Lyrics:
I hate the sun and I hate the moon
I hate all of your little friends, and I hate you
I hate this desk, I'm no teacher's pet
I'm not anything, and I hear myself ask, "Do I even exist?"

You gave me something I'll never forget
And that is something I'll never forgive

Chorus:
This is for you
This is for everyone I kind of knew
I'm not afraid of hell
'Cause I know what it's like, I've already been there
My whole life was screwed
And I blame you, for being too cool
To look over at the shadow in the corner

Should I slit my wrists, show you the blood
Would that help you notice that I've come just a little undone
Should I point this gun, watch you scream and run
Got to admit, I've thought a little bit, of bad things I could have done

Although that's a road I'd never take
It sure feels good to imagine it somedays

Chorus

Do I look pretty enough
To stand next to you, my love
What do you want
What will make me good enough

This is for you
From the girl you'll wish you knew
When you land in hell
Don't reach up for me, I'm not saving you there
If you're confused
I don't blame you, 'cause you were too cool
To look over
To look over

All the things I could have done
Nothing would make me good enough
