a conscience vacation
travis atkins Feb 2016
I need a conscience vacation
I need to get away
I can't be here anymore
I want to sleep until I'm no longer awake.

Someone please take this life
Take my name
Take my everything
Throw me into legacy and fame
God knows this heart will never beat the same

Proud but a coward
I stand strong but cower
I need a hand
I need a push
Off this ledge
Into this tailored noose

Deathwish seems like an understatement
I'll die young just like God intended

This name is a curse
And I'm not sure which is worse
To know what it is to be your best friends worst enemy
Or to know I'll be the death of me.

— The End —
