I swish the pain with *****,
I gargle it was beer.
I down the pain in pills,
Hoping it'll get me out of here.

I bleed the depression in silver,
And wipe it down with red.
I await my last tiring breath,
As I lay awake in my bed.

I write my notes in ink,
And sign my name in blood.
The emotions wash over me,
As memories began to flood.

I blew out hopelessness in smoke,
And coughed out all my guilt.
My hope was slowly perishing,
As the black roses began to wilt.

My heart aches to be in his arms,
But he is off with another girl.
The night we split apart for good,
Was the night an earthquake shook my world.

I'm slowly losing hold,
My eyes have begun to close.
My last tears rolled down my cheek,
As I finally begin to let go.
