Don't be scared of death
Be scared of the pain before you go
Imagining fake heartfelt goodbyes
Embraced with warm daggers disguised
These are the lies of my mind
A walking corpse passing time
Days turn into years
Bag of bones no longer mine
On the edge of a blade
Lying in the bed I made
On the edge of a cliff
As I gurgle my last breath
Choking, choking, choking On the lies in my mind
Choking, choking, choking Dreaming of my demise
Sleepwalking through dawn's dismay
Quieting demons I downplay
And all that matters in the end
Is no longer having to pretend
(Spoken)
Make your voice heard.
Tell someone, anyone that'll listen, “I'm not ok, I need help.” Don't suffer in silence. Don't be depression's slave. Release yourself from all shame and stigmas
Don't be scared of death
Be scared of the pain before you go
Imagining fake heartfelt goodbyes
Embraced with warm daggers disguised
These are the lies of my mind
A walking corpse passing time
Days turn into years
Peace of mind eviction time
On the edge of a blade
Lying in the bed I made
On the edge of a cliff
As I gurgle my last breath
Choking, choking, choking On the lies in my mind
Choking, choking, choking
Dreaming of my demise
Sleepwalking through dawn's dismay
Quieting demons I downplay
And all that matters in the end
Is no longer having to pretend
(Spoken)
Don't let the hopelessness overpower you
Help is not unattainable
Never give up
Don't listen to depression’s lies
You’re not alone
