All alone Twenty-so birthdays in a row On my phone There'll be one message from my mom Yeah that's something I know But it's not just birthdays I feel so alone It's just that birthdays emphasized the truths I already know Like how friendship is just a hoax My life has been a joke And I'm unknown The truth's been told If I died people, they would talk Get acknowledgment for once in my life As long as I'm gone If I were resurrected Everyone would ignore my body Just like prior to me dying Like past life, I'd have no friends Am I better off dead? Because in Heaven there is no crying Of course, that would be implying That there's something good ahead I'm losing blood And everything's dead inside me To think that no one was there to guide me I'm choosing one For you would be there beside me Everything was there to fight me Oh no If I were resurrected Everyone would ignore my body Just like prior to me dying Like past life, I'd have no friends Am I better off dead? Because in Heaven there is no crying Of course, that would be implying That there's something good ahead

Some nights I fall asleep Some nights I get up on my feet And pace around Til my heart rate settles down Some nights I fall asleep Most nights I wake up in a sea Drowning Dancing If I lie awake at night, there's no wonder why Tortured cyclical, over and over, dizzied and tried What have I? If I fall asleep then I Must have made a promise that I would end it all by nine What have I? I wake up every time and I shake My stomach turns inside Outside I see myself in a lake Ice-capped and frozen shut They say drowning's the worst way to die But it can't be Worse than how I spend my nights At least drowning's distracting I can picture the sunrays refracting Through the ice-caps, through water I'm gasping for air But it's not like it's rare For me to fall

Lying on my bed and to myself Trying to decipher commonwealth I didn't vote to be this way I didn't register So how can I even complain Because my life's a disaster X's taped across my eyes Corn chips dipped in liquid tide Lighter fluid on my thighs My body hurts it burns It hurts it burns it hurts it burns I'm Still alive, am I doing this living thing right? I go to work, I sleep, well sometimes I don't And sometimes I worry about whatever things I need to know Like I'm a freak And I can't breathe I am just so overwhelmed I am just so overwhelmed X's taped across my eyes Corn chips dipped in liquid tide Lighter fluid on my thighs My body hurts it burns It hurts it burns it hurts it burns I'm Still alive, am I doing this living thing right? I go to work, I sleep, well sometimes I don't And sometimes I worry about whatever things I need to know Though I'm a freak And I can't sleep Will somebody please shoot me Somebody please shoot me So I'll be free Will somebody please save me Somebody please save me So I don't bleed
