Every 43 seconds someone attempts suicide
Every 18 minutes someone succeeds
Yet we all wallow in our self hatred
Wishing for an end to our pathetic deeds
Hearing the stories on the television
See all those unfamiliar families crying
Never an answer, feelings never resolved
Above in heaven you can hear God sighing
So many lost children, afraid and alone
Why can’t we help them, why don’t we try?
Slip away silently, or go out with a bang?
Or are they drowned in crimson tears they cry?
Why did it get that far? Lost love? Job? Life.
No hope for some, so life itself ends
From lifeless corpses, souls are released
A broken heart is something that never mends
Count down the time until someone will try
Breaking me, hurting me, tearing me in two
41…42…seconds go by in a false reality
So afraid that the next attempt will be you
No dreams for the future, no planning ahead
How can we just watch, as life passes by?
We sit alone, we are afraid, of everything
But we are not the ones that each moment die
It was not a failure but a cry for attention
How can you say that? A life almost gone
A body almost lifeless, a soul almost freed
A being left scarred from a suicide gone wrong
Each 43 seconds is a suicide attempt
A soul on the edge of hope, without a care
Every 18 minutes someone succeeds
Another lost soul is no longer there…
