When I saw the rush of red I panicked sobered up Ambien no longer had its sleepy hands around my throat I threw my silver knight against the shower wall Ran out shivering and naked into the hallway Dripping life force I made the mistake of telling someone Because only the next day in the white four walled cell containing me Did I realize how much I wanted to no longer exist I laid in bed for three days on and off crying and shaking Finally got released To an even more cold family Even more estranged from everyone I know And everyone that thought they knew me I act happy jump threw your hoops Make sure I seem back to normal And every night go to bed praying to not wake up in this life

Suicide Attempt
When I saw the rush of red I panicked sobered up Ambien no longer had its sleepy hands around my throat I threw my silver knight against the shower wall Ran out shivering and naked into the hallway Dripping life force I made the mistake of telling someone Because only the next day in the white four walled cell containing me Did I realize how much I wanted to no longer exist I laid in bed for three days on and off crying and shaking Finally got released To an even more cold family Even more estranged from everyone I know And everyone that thought they knew me I act happy jump threw your hoops Make sure I seem back to normal And every night go to bed praying to not wake up in this life
