Suicide Watch

By The time You Read This I Will Be Dead

Suicide Watch


What do you say to someone, who does not want to be alive? 
Who stares straight through you, towards the death that he craves? 
All the false hope that we offer, empty promises, little more 
Scattered like autumn leaves by the welcoming arms of the beckoning grave 

I'm not afraid of dying 
But I'm sure I'll live through this 
I'll learn to love myself again 
And fit the jigsaw's final piece 

All those pitch black years, with misery to befriend 
Just how long were you planning your inglorious end? 
And where were we, when you needed us most? 
Wrapped up in our own sorrows, we left you all alone 

By the time you read this I will be dead 

Yes, there's more to life than this 
Please tell me, you still want to live 
Our paper-thin acts are only dreams 
Underscored by our fragile mortality 
Dance with the laughing dead 
Society no longer fucks with your head 
I hope you've found the peace you need 
And I'll see you soon on the other side.
