cyanide

I drank the cyanide tonight

I was tired of it all.

I drank the whole thing

And to the floor I did fall.

 

I remember now

As I lay here in a coma

Why I took the first sip.

It's your fault.

I was going down

And you sat by,

Watched me slip.

 

As I lay here dying

I feel the anger swell

Why didn't you try to save me?

You know what I feel

 

But even as I die

I somehow find it in me to forgive

I'm crying inside

I change my mind!

I want to live!

 

Guess it's too late now.

Seems everyone has given up on me

Why did I take that drink?

Why was death my dream?

 

I'll never know,

It's too late now.

I'm taking my

Last faint breath

 

I'm sorry mom

I'm sorry dad

And bro, I'm so sorry

I'm leavin' you

 

Dear family

Dear friends

And everyone else who cared

I'm sorry I had to go

 

I did what I always did best

But don't worry

It's all over

I made my final mistake.

 

I drank the cyanide tonight

I was tired of it all.

I drank the whole thing

And to the floor I did fall.
