You say I’ve never considered suicide Not seriously at least Not enough to lose sleep You always hear about the cases But the bridges seem so far away But when everyone is disappointed Each smile is an extra effort It seems so sweet I can almost taste relief An end An escape How many muscles does it take? To pull a trigger? No one will give me an answer to the real question So what’s the point? Searching for a purpose A reason The music of water filling lungs Lulls me to sleep Playing over and over in my dreams In hopes for a break from reality I’m trying to think of things I love But they seem to have faded I feel lethargic I’m inhaling an iron aroma A smell of veins and mind games Burning flesh and hair in flames Eyes closing The pain is gone
