"I've been searching for an exit, but I'm lost inside my head;
Where I spend every waking moment wishing I was dead."
The torturous feeling,
Of the loss and regret.
Shooting down all but, the feeling of dread.

"For a few minutes get me away from here,
For a few minutes wipe away my tears."
For the longest time I've had to dry my own eyes,
Holding back sighns of pain,
Not letting anyone know I was weak.

"For I am lost right now as the ocean deep;
I am low my friend and how my heart does sink.
Yeah I am lost right now as the ocean deep;
I am low my friend and how my heart does sink."
So please just,
Drop me off at the nearest gas station,
Rid me of your face,
I know that you don't care,
I was just trying to find someplace,
To be free of pain,
And free of sin,
Waiting for my life to end,
So the new world can begin.

"It's like there's cancer in my blood,
It's like there's water in my lungs,
And I can't take another step,
Please tell me I am not undone."
No air left,
My lungs burn like acid has filled them,
Pulling me deep under water,
I can't even walk I'm in so much pain,
I try to fight back as hard as I can,
But my mind is unraveling in front of my eyes,
Every memory fading away.

"It's like there's fire in my skin
And I'm drowning from within -
I can't take another breath,
Please tell me I am not undone."
A cancer consuming me from within,
Just trying to escape,
This world that I'm in,
I cough up blood as I try to hold on,
Feeling a need to just end it all,
Right here,
Right now.

"I've been searching for an exit but I'm lost inside my head;"
Pulling a string to make me talk, I've got no emotion left inside me;
"Where I spend every waking moment wishing this would end."
The walls close in, I'm cold and I'm afraid;
"I can't take another step, I cannot live inside my mind,"
The demon's just won't quit, wish I could run away and hide;
"I can't face another day, I am so ******* tired."
The sunlight burns my skin, highlighting the giant flaw that I am.

"I'll take another step for you -
I'll shed my tears until I drown, or until I am underground."
Trying hard to stay free,
Keeping life inside of me.
"I'll take another breath for you...
Will you still be there when I'm home, out from the great unknown?"
You're pushing air into my lungs,
But still I feel like I've undone.
