One Step Closer...

I can't stand the pace,
Look at the expression on my face,
I want to leave this place,
Leaving behind no trace,

Moving through the shadows,
I'm one step closer to my destination,
'I want to kill myself!'
Hear my declaration!

Better face the facts,
With every simple heartbeat,
I'm ever closer,
To not being able to speak,

I know I'm going to die soon,
But I've just got my life back on track,
Yet still life has a funny way,
Of knocking you back,

So I'm...

...One step closer to the edge,
...One step closer to a real nightmare,
...One step closer to wiping away my last tear,
...One step closer to accepting nothing less,
...One step closer to Death!
