Many times i’ve paced around
Yeah I’ve had my finger on the trigger
Sat in my room and cried
Shattering on the inside
The times I’ve asked what is there now
There’s no more lows
I’m at the bottom
Where do I go from here
They all say we need you
It’ll all be fine
But how can that be
I can’t get out of bed
I’m stuck in my head
I’m in pain can’t you see
The times I’ve told you
I’m okay don’t worry about me
Was all a lie to save you from me
I lied like a coward hides
I’ve sat with a smile on my face
while thinking about the pills back at my place
I’m not happy
I’ve died on the inside
My body is empty
Can’t you see how my eyes look when you tell me it’ll be alright
My eyes well with tears
I want to believe you
The voice in my head saying no can do
Go home and take the whole box
It’ll let you sleep alot
I’ve been to my shrink
But I can’t seem to tell how my mind constantly thinks
I’m ashamed of myself
I can’t look in the mirror
The face that constantly betrays
Yeah you coward
The one with the bright eyes
Come out and tell the truth
Tell the world what its inside
The pain and anguish
The hatred and sadness
Or else you’ll die being a lie
Atleast before that triggers clicks
Tell the audience what made you tick
Put down the weapon okay
Just for today
Tomorrow is coming
Yeah we’re cowards
cowards with a bit of pain
but the pills still wait
the gun doesn’t click
and we get up again
to see another day
When I wrote this, I was in a low place. I consider this to be my thoughts and how I talked myself down from doing the unthinkable. I still suffer from thoughts like these and often go through times such as this.
