Lyrics:
Lyrics~
Sharpener’s calling me again
Trying to turn it into something I can draw into my skin
Make it a picture that I love
Instead of something that I wish
I could get in the bath and scrub right off

Why am I ashamed to look the way I do
All ‘cause an escape to me was just a sharpener to you

Big old pill to inch around
There's no copping out this time
Try my best to get it down
Sometimes seems like I'm still young
Looking at the boy across the sink
Thinking what the hell have you just done

Why am I ashamed to look the way I do
All ‘cause an escape to me was just a sharpener to you
Why am I afraid of things I let inside my room
Just wanted some company, broke the sharpener in two

You say why am I like this
You mean why am I stupid
‘Cause you know you’re not trying to fix it
You mean why am I like this
You say why am I selfish
‘Cause you know honey you can’t help it

Almost crying because of the line “looking at the boy across the sink, thinking what the hell have you just done.”

Really appreciate that there's no explicit imagery for such a heavy song. It really makes the message much more meaningful, coming from someone who used to self harm and can trigger easy. This song feels cathartic but not harmful

Most songs about self harm trigger me, but this makes me feel warm and comforted, like im not insane for doing this. Thank you

Idk if this is really obvious or not but i love the part where he reaches his hand out to the train, he’s hesitant at first because the feeling isn’t what he expected but then he touches it and the rainbows explode out, and when he takes his hand away they fade, but there is still some that stay with him forever. I think the train represents sh and the rainbows represent the feelings of relief/grounding that come with it, and then the feeling goes but you will always keep the scar, the reminder of that feeling which is the small amount of rainbow he is holding. Again idk if that was really obvious but I just love that part so much

I love that all the bots that comment early say stuff like "sending good vibes" or "sending virtual hugs" because they know we all have deteriorating mental states.

Reading the lyrics, Robbie I'm so sorry you've felt this way but just so you know (if you ever read this) we are all SO DAMN PROUD of you for coming this far.

“Everyone’s got a thing they don’t like, a thing that makes them stand in front of the sink with tears in their eyes” - Dear “Looking at the boy across the sink, thinking what the hell have you just done?” - Sharpener BRB I’m just gonna think over these two sentences for the next few weeks, making link after link between the two songs, personal experiences, and the music video.

Just got out of the mental hospital for a suicide attempt. this hits so close to home, if I had succeeded I would have never heard it. Even if its something small maybe it is worth it to stay alive, at least for a bit

the thing I noticed about cavetown's audience is that everyone here is so kind just coming here and reading the comments makes me feel better when I have bad mood days once more this makes me want to hug Robbie really tight for creating music and uniting people that way ;> thankya robbie!! 🎵💗❤💜💛

“An escape to me is just a sharpener to you” to anyone who relates to this, please stay strong. It gets better. I promise. Go eat that food you love, go watch a movie, but please try to avoid taking it out on yourself. I know firsthand being told to stop doesn’t help, but whatever you’re going through, it gets better. You are so freaking amazing and it is possible to stop. There are so many people who love you. There are so many people who you have t met yet who will live you. It gets better.

Guys.......... I've been wanting to do this for so so long now but never felt ready. I've been clean for over a year, physically at least. Mentally I've almost slipped so many times, even mentally went through imagining the process of doing it to my skin so I at least wasn't doing it on my body, but tonight I did something big.... I threw away my razors. Deep in the bathroom trash. I've put it off so long because I was comforted by the thought that they were still hidden in my room just in case . Well, now they're not. I'm free? I think I am. I think I'm free! IM FREE!!!!!!! IM FUCKING FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
