The thoughts I jot are for my own being, The ones I show are for you to know You are not alone. My brain feels like it's being pulled, in two. The pain is dull but growing, emotionless. My hair's a mess as always shown. I'm not together, it's for the better, Forward the letters, leave the keys. I wish I was holding worth for someone to see. The looking glass shows my real imagery. If this is a standoff in my own, Each side isn't bluffing As the tumbleweeds go drifting by We both have guns to be blown. We say ten steps but only take five Lying to ourselves to make the other die. Then the dust settles to show nothing Just a Russian roulette suicide But the barrel was empty Too much of a coward to really try. Haven't you taken enough? It will never be enough

Self standoff
The thoughts I jot are for my own being, The ones I show are for you to know You are not alone. My brain feels like it's being pulled, in two. The pain is dull but growing, emotionless. My hair's a mess as always shown. I'm not together, it's for the better, Forward the letters, leave the keys. I wish I was holding worth for someone to see. The looking glass shows my real imagery. If this is a standoff in my own, Each side isn't bluffing As the tumbleweeds go drifting by We both have guns to be blown. We say ten steps but only take five Lying to ourselves to make the other die. Then the dust settles to show nothing Just a Russian roulette suicide But the barrel was empty Too much of a coward to really try. Haven't you taken enough? It will never be enough
