I held a gun against my head and pulled the trigger but I'm not dead I laid in a bath of tepid water slit my wrists bled like slaughter I poured petrol from a can lit a match a flaming stand I fell down upon a track then came the train I didn't stand back I strung a rope inside the carport kicked the chair from my feet without a thought I woke up screaming from a nightmare clawing furrows in my chest that lay bared I took some pills and alcohol and drifted in a void but still I don't fall I woke upon each wretched lie Alive, but dead Until your Goodbye

You Killed Me
I held a gun against my head and pulled the trigger but I'm not dead I laid in a bath of tepid water slit my wrists bled like slaughter I poured petrol from a can lit a match a flaming stand I fell down upon a track then came the train I didn't stand back I strung a rope inside the carport kicked the chair from my feet without a thought I woke up screaming from a nightmare clawing furrows in my chest that lay bared I took some pills and alcohol and drifted in a void but still I don't fall I woke upon each wretched lie Alive, but dead Until your Goodbye
