No Other Choice

Home alone
no one to stop me
Sharpen the blade
till I can see

See in this knife
my shaken reflection
Dried blood on the handle
I feel the connection

So many times
have I wound up here
It's all too familiar
so theres nothing to fear

life's too much to handle
so I turn to this
finding relief
in this blades bloody kiss

I watch the red flow
as my wrists drip blood
thinking about how I've failed
and the tears start to flood

As I lay there alone
my mind sets in
on the death coming on
the room starts to dim

Now I'm wishing
there was another way
so that this didn't have
to be my last day

But as my breathing shallows
I try to forget the pain
the hurt and the anger
that brought on this shame

The worlds gone dark
I feel myself fade
I won't be here much longer
all thanks to this blade
