When My Vices Fail to Free Me

I want to take the blade to my wrists And my legs And my thighs But I know it won't help Because this hurts more than that would I want to get wasted Drink until I pass out Or throw up all of this emotion Maybe then I won't feel this pain But I know that won't help Because once it wears off I'll feel even worse I want to get stoned out of my mind To get as high as possible until these feelings can't touch me But that will not help Because the past few times I've smoked It's only made me more in tune with my anger Releasing all of the adrenaline into my system Until I can't even look at you I want to die Because that's the only way out of this I feel like I can't leave you But I don't know if I can stay either And if I'm dead I won't feel anything I won't have to breathe When each inhale fuels the anger in me I won't have to think All of the thoughts that are consuming me I won't have anything I won't be anything And since I feel that anyways What's the point of this?
