I truly believe
If I were so much as content
I wouldn't know
I feel myself
Regressing
Will I be whole again?
Could I shed this skin?
Don't leave me now
No matter what I say
I need help
I need help
I'd like to be
Concrete
Instead of
Fleeting
A place where my shrieks
Are whispers
And my hands
Aren't shaking
They're held
They're happy
Give me something to hold
A warm embrace, now cold as stone
What's the endgame?
What's the endgame?
Get me out, I knew my way
This mind is a trap, loose and concave
Maybe it's in my head
I know it is, that's the problem at hand
Can't believe that it's come to this
Empty bottles in tightly closed fists
Everything's numb and hazy
This is it, if I'm lucky
Come to, I've failed on my own
Can't you, let me go home
Not where I have meals and a bed
Home is where I'll finally feel dead
I'd like to be
Concrete
Instead of
Fleeting
A place where my shrieks Are whispers
And my hands, Aren't shaking
They're held
They're happy
Think that I know what I must do
This is how it ends
Cannot live, cannot love, cannot feel
But I'm doing so to make sure that you stay
I had it all figured out
Had it down to a science
I'd be well, I'd be happy again
I did it myself, and look where I am
Couldn't be better than now
This is the way it has to be
For you to be healthy and full of life
I will die at my own hand
