I saw the first death in my family when I was five
Barely able to understand
Nonetheless why
A man would take his life
Why did you leave us behind?
If i’m created in the image of him
Does that mean he’s a disappointment like me?
The thoughts won’t let me be won’t let me be
Life mant nothing now you’re dead
Wasted our time, lost your head
We keep crying in the streets
But we don’t own them anyway
We keep lying in our sheets
But we don’t care anyway
I miss you more every day
Mom said she dreamed of you hugging her
so tightly she could barely breathe
And I knew it was an apology, finally
And i’m sorry i demanded so much from the dead
I just have more around me than alive
I saw the first death in my family when I was five
Now I understand
Now i see why a man would take his life
Maybe it’s time to leave you behind
What is the use in all your stress
Stay depressed Stay depressed
You’re happier alone
Leave your life as just a mess
Stay depressed stay depressed
Lay dead and hope
That someone else will change your life
Stay depressed stay depressed
Let the demons in
Help yourself swim
Cause I’ll just watch you drown every time
Gasp for air, you’re fine
Take the glory from your sins
Do every drug you can
Life will never end
When happiness returns again
Stay depressed stay depressed
Every life will come to end
I expect my failure
I accept my failure
