Talk to me and tell me why you're dead
Was it the darkness or sick thoughts in your head

The way you retreated kept you alone and so tightly bound
You were stuck in the solitary recesses of a mind that was unsound

You screamed your silent pleas but no one heard at all
Just looked on as piece by piece you began to fall

The smile you shared was always forced and untrue
And even that died as you slowly became unglued

You wondered why no one noticed as you choked and drowned
Cause you let yourself get worse by keeping no one around
How could anyone have helped you if you never made a sound
If you had just reached out you would have been pulled to higher ground

There were people that cared but you never asked for help
Just wallowed in the mire of self pity and doubt
And now you are dead and the only one left to blame is yourself.
