Lyrics
It's archetypal
to grab the rifle
and put it up to my head
It's suicidal
to end survival
maybe baby I'll be dead
or are these just words I said
It's six in the evenin' and I'm already trashed
the bottle's half empty and the bowl is cashed
tomorrow seems lonely even more than the past
that's what I tell myself as I pour me some jack
there's that knock at the door I wonder who it could be
is it the specter that's been haunting me
so I look through the peep hole and sure enough I see
the beast that's come to kill me
but is it the beast I want to see
Suicide's knockin' but I ain't gonna answer
I ain't gonna answer tonight
suicide's knockin' but is it the answer
should I just take my life
I'm staring at a picture of her and me
that she gave to me for my birthday
now it's a picture of I'm lonely
a picture that words can't say
Suicide's knockin' but I ain't gonna answer
I ain't gonna answer tonight
suicide's knockin' but is it the answer
should I just take my life
No that can't be right
No that can't be right
I said no that can't be right
no that can't be right
I said no no it can't be right
suicide's knockin'
but I'm still talkin'
suicide's knockin'
but I'm still rockin'
no it can't take my life
said no no it can't take my life
no no that wouldn't be right
