Cutting Away Whats Life

Sucked into the TV
stereo blasting loud
trying to find out what life is
can't figure it out

breathing in the smoke fumes
overhearing the secrets they don't want you to know
packing your things to runaway
because you want so bad to go

brother's on life support
family going back to jail
parents already pressuring you about college
forcing you to work to not fail

pressure catches up to you
you have to get out
you try suicide as a way to leave
a way to forget about your doubts

all the tears, deaths, and confusions
you take the pain with the knife
you figure out a way to make it all disappear
with cutting away whats life
