Please
just
walk
away
And
take
yourself
off home
I
don’t
want to
talk
I
want
to be
alone
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
Please
just
walk
away
And
take
yourself
off home
I
don’t
want to
talk
I
want
to be
alone
Maybe I’ll drink until I’m sick
Maybe I’ll dance like a prick
Maybe I’ll smoke ten to the dozen
Maybe I’ll put my head in the oven
Either way one thing is true
It’s got fuck all to do with you
Maybe
you’ll
change
your
mind
Or
maybe
you
won’t
But
one
thing
is for
sure
You’ll
regret
it if
you
don’t
All
I can
say is
I live
in hope
That
one day
I will
tie that
rope
As
tightly
as I see
it in
my mind
And
all my
troubles
I’ll leave
behind
I wish
I could
rememberThe
good
old
daysBut I
fear they
were just
a lieFor I
cannot
recallAny
time in
my lifeWhen I
didn’t
want
to die
So you can
empathise
with her
Someone
you only
saw on TV?
But when
my shit hit
the fan
You couldn’t
sympathise
with me?
Well fuck your
social media
petition
And your
boycott of
that rag
Why not look
a little closer
to home?
You
disingenuous
old hag
I’m
too
scared
to go
out
today
For
the
dark
thoughts
haven’t
gone away
I’m
worried
I’m so
far into
this
slump
That I’ll
be left
with no
choice
but to
jump
God
knows
why I
didn’t
wake up
dead
Or why
I didn’t
think
to plan
this far
ahead
Tears
become
oceansHours
into
daysGoing
through
the motionsCaught
between
the waves
Still
here
tryingYet
always
cryingMind
constantly
vyingBetween
living
and dying
Shall
we jumpHe
askedNow that we’ve
come this far?I don’t
knowShe
saidLet’s just get
back in the car
I know
I can’t
do this
anymore
My soul
is heavy
and my
heart
is sore
I feel
the relief
in every
pore
As I walk
along
to the
hardware
store
I really
shouldn’t go
swimming
any more
For it gets
harder
each time
to return
to shore
It can
be a
hard
lesson
to learnWhen
you’re
at the
point of
no returnThat
nobody
actually
gives
a shitWhether
you decide
to stay
or to
end it
Ups and downs,
Peaks and troughs,
But the darkness?
That never stops…
I guess that
only time will tellHow long I’ll spend
living in this hellWaiting for
the axe to fallWondering when
to end it all
I
NEED
YOU
MORE
THAN
EVER
BEFORE
I
SIMPLY
CANNOT
DO
THIS
ANY
MORE
To carry
on living
is proving
too hardWith my mind
and my body
so irrevocably
scarred
Another day of pretence dawns,
And my heart is full of dread.
Another chasm in my mind yawns,
And I wish that I was dead.
Upon making the journey,
to the furthest corners
of my mind,
it occurs to me.
What if I can’t remember
the way back?
The rubber ring
floats
towards me.
Thank you
for throwing
it down.
But I have
no desire
to grab it.
The rocks
in my pocket
are all
I need.
It's a long way to the bottom
from all the way up here.
As I stand and shiver
I can't help but think...
What happens if I change my mind
halfway down?
The girl in the river,
She never thought she would be.
The girl in the river,
She didn’t want you to see.
The girl in the river,
She just wanted to be free.
The girl in the river,
She is me.
