Have you ever been in a room full of friends and wondered if anyone would notice if you left? Am I better off dead or is it all in my head? This deception's got me all fucked up again... Come find me Come clean me up Come find me Come clean my brains off the ceiling So if I say that I'm fine, please know it's a lie Cuz I feel awful all the time I'm losing my mind, I thought I left that behind No matter how I try I still feel awful all the time Night after night another struggle a fight to keep these suicidal thoughts from my mind I don't really wanna die but I'm so sick of my life I've been rejected, neglected, and denied
2.
Alone with my thoughts is the worst place I could be when every idea's a new catastrophe Every day I'm just waiting to fall asleep Now it won't be too long 'til I can rest in peace I've been getting drunk in cemeteries Begging to be the next one buried I need a hearse to carry me away Cuz I'm so I'm so sick of this I need a new reason to live I know I know I ain't worth shit I've got no reason to live I don't wanna feel this way again I'm patiently waiting for the end I'm down for whatever happens next My name in stone, I'm laid to rest Oh what a shame but for the best No more tomorrow no more regrets Self reflection makes me feel bitter Self destruction makes me feel better
3.
The heat is on and I'm starting to sweat I'm hard to love and you're so hard to forget I'm obsessing over every word that you said I can't get the thought of you out of my head I wanna see my reflection in your eyes I wanna feel you put your hand in mine I wanna hear your voice all of the time And I want a taste of you so bad I could die I got my hopes up as I fell I never stood a chance in hell I'm burning to be with you I wanna burn with you

A trip to Salem we had fun on the town You popped my hiccups when they wouldn't stay down Holding hands in a haunted house I wanted more but you wanted out The devil drew a line between us as we both kissed his cheek I made you laugh for hours and then you wouldn't talk for weeks I tried so hard to win your heart, but you wouldn't have me I cried so hard, I fell apart, cuz you couldn't stand me A late night picnic in my living room I don't like catfish but I made it for you A candlelight dinner on a blanket for two We went outside we couldn't see the full moon You'll always haunt me You'll always be a ghost to me You'll always haunt me Now you're nothing but a memory You'll always haunt me You could only be a ghost to me You'll always haunt me So I'll see you around in the cemetery

I've had a couple years of therapy only to conclude that no one can fix me A languishing victim of apathy My self-esteem is festering I'm feeling broken lost and hopeless I'm feeling so alone Butt of the joke nowhere to go I'm clearly on my own I don't know how to be happy And I don't know how not to fuck things up I don't know how to be happy Nothing's ever enough I've spilled my guts on deaf ears And I'm still trying to make things clear Another wrench thrown in the gears And yet again I've been reduced to tears
6.
I shook myself awake last night and I was crying in my sleep It hasn't been an easy life and sometimes I forget to breathe I never meant to be a burden, I feel like I'm diseased Everything is getting worse and I'm living on my knees with Anxiety, depression, a fear of rejection A relapse, secession I don't know why I even bother anymore When everything I do feels like a chore My heart's still beating and I don't know what for I don't know why I even bother anymore A tear in my eye and a lump in my throat I'm feeling things no one should know I don't wanna leave but it's clearly time to go I'm an easy target, a broken bullseye full of holes Easily triggered I'm always waiting to explode Medication's not enough My thoughts remain corrupt Cuz I was only born to self-destruct This temptation is too much I'm finally giving up I think it's finally time I self destruct
