Tornadoes break all my pride
Sharks tear me to pieces
as I swim through the deafening sound of my own depression
…Kill me…
Not to bring you down
But I’m struggling here and now
and I’m still scared of the night
Scared of unrest
vultures waiting, circling
Save me from my beating chest
for it causes me pain
Begging to stop this rain
8 million needles draining all I got from my veins
…Kill me…
But I have too much to lose
So many that love
But I’m feeling like all I got is booze
It’s the easy way out
I’m so lost
Been here too many times to count
…Help me…
You tell me I’m not alone
You may be right
Eyes filled with darkness
Show me the light
You don’t get it
We start to fight
Then I hit you with all my might
…Help me…
I didn’t mean it
I’m so fuckin sorry
Don’t leave
Don’t leave
Watching my life crumble
I can’t breathe
…Save me…
