Goodnight prayer

Goodnight Prayer

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

As I lay here in my bed,

I hold a gun against my head.

Salty tears run down my cheeks

This is the last I'll ever speak.

Hate and anger fills my heart

All I've loved now torn apart.

There's nothing left here for me,

It's time to let my soul fly free.

I'm so sick of being caged,

Pacing, hating, so enraged.

As for 'love' there's no such thing.

Lord, can you see why I'm crying?

This cold metal chills my skin

Another tear drops off my chin.

As I pull the trigger back

About to make my body slack,

I check the note locked in my hand

God, I hope they understand.

I said I'm sorry for the things I've done.

I hear no sound when I fire the gun.

Now I've laid me down to sleep..

I pray the Lord..

My soul
