Suicidal tendencies can follow you throughout your life
This makes arrival to old age something to really celebrate
An alcoholic makes it that first year
An addict finally beats their fear
The thoughts still return
The guilt and the pain
Maybe I deserve this in some way?
There is a distinct pleasure in the cut
Running a blade across
and watching the blood run
It's a battle I'll fight from day to day
Hoping one day to celebrate my old age
