"A step too far and I find my way
Falling to my knees because the emptiness remains
The lights are so bright, I must close my eyes
I indulge once more as tears fall and she cries

Life is a burden I cannot bear
The barrel of a gun, a blank-eyed stare
Razor blade on the mantle, a cup full of pills
I tried everything once but nothing fulfills

Scars on my arms, self-mutilation, perhaps
I could get out of bed now, but rather take another nap

Scared to death of death itself and nowhere to turn
I hope I find solace before it’s too late to learn."
