Verse 1
-------
Let Me Tell You A little About My Life
About The things I've Done And Seen
It might be a little harsh for you to grasp
But at the end you'll feel complete
Well I've tasted life's sweet poison on my lips
That I call the devils kiss
And it nearly killed me...
It's taken away everything.
It's created all this pain...
All this sadness you see in my eyes...
Chorus
------
So In this messed up world
How can anyone fully feel alive?
But we gotta try
Before we can finally learn how to fly
Verse 2
-------
Now I've become a nervous wreck
Surely a violent threat
Cause you always seem to push and push and push
And my head can't take the stress
So I'll slide this piece of glass against my wrist
And I'll push it till I don't exist
And then I'll be gone...
No one will have to deal...
With my drowning eyes...
Always searching through everyone's lies
Chorus
------
So In this messed up world
How can anyone fully feel alive?
But we gotta try
Before we can finally learn how to fly...
And I don't wanna die
So it's time to say goodbye
