Only Exit

Memories, darkness, unforgettable pain

My weariness is your sickening gain

Falling into your stupid, mind-boggling game

Each and every time, it's always the same.

 

This trickery has led me straight into a deep black hole

They call it depression, I say it's my soul

Sit, cry, review my sorrow

Hoping and wishing I see no tomorrow

 

These scars I have thrashed so deep in my wrists

Are all my crushed dreams will consist of

When you abandoned me, terrified, alone

I accepted hell was my only home

 

Getting used to the hurt, entering day in and day out

Now that my mind has freed itself, nothing else to think about

To call this suicide, would simply be a crime

This reoccuring process, is what has caused me to die

 

As i pick up the barrel, this seems like my only escape

Finger hesitates on the trigger, eager to enter my only fate

Sweat gushes out, and tears pour out of my eyes

At innocent gunpoint, because of your lies

 

This room's getting darker, spinning as my vision blurs

She fires a bullet, his selfishness was what murdered her

As she lay deceased, sprawled out in her ****** blood

Tears and fear dismiss her body, her hope begins to flood

 

Free from the sopping red river, she is away from all anguish

How she begs god to forgive her, this was her only wish

As god began to speak, in her life, he took control

He did what he thought was right, before the devil plunged her soul

 

When her family arrives, to her flesh on the floor

The scene will leave them confused and soar

All she would say, is the pain had led her to a style of strife

She took the one exit that would exempt her from her life
