Catching a breather

by resisting reason   May 7, 2008


Heaven caught on fire today
And Hell froze over
My heart died a little
And I'm not sober

Not off of drugs or alcohol
But it's not natural either
I just needed to stop
And catch a breather

So I took up my favorite blade
And put it to my wrist
I didn't hold back
I couldn't resist

But it didn't work
I still can't breathe
The only difference is
I'm tired and want to sleep

So as I'm lying here
Thinking on my past
I remember them telling me
That it wouldn't last

And to hold on to hope
Because one day I'd be better
But I knew what would really happen
I'll be like this forever

I don't have any regrets
Other than leaving
And the fact that
I couldn't keep breathing

And I just want to say that I'm sorry
I just couldn't help it
I know you all loved me
But sticking around just didn't seem worth it
