I held the gun to my head Loaded .357 Blow my head off It'll be better The cutting didn't help anymore No physical pain hurt deep enough To dull my tormented soul I pulled the trigger . . . Nothing. The chamber refused to release it's fiery doom upon me That'll make you feel more a failure **** I couldn't even **** myself right That's a kick to the soul To hear the click of that hammer fall, and nothing To be left still seated and alive

I shot that same bullet years later, nothing was wrong with it. I have no idea how im able to type this now.
