I lay in the dark
Afraid, afraid of what comes next
I don’t want to embark
Because everything is so complex
Why do I need to keep going?
Why do you care so much?
I just want to die without anyone knowing
Stop trying to act like a crutch
I just want to go
But you keep coming back
I have tried, but I fall below
I just want everything to fade to black
I just want to be where I belong
And that sure as hell isn’t here
And I know everything you said was wrong
So just let me disappear
Living takes a lot of heart
But mine has been shattered for so long
It is too late to restart
I can no longer stay strong
I can’t think straight
I am no longer who I want to be
But I know my fate
I will be dead by three
