The pain is there to remind me that i'm still alive

Watching dreams that i once had
feed the flame inside my head
in a quiet desperation of the emptiness i feel inside

This is your life- are you who you want to be?
is it everything you dreamed that it would be, when the world was younger, and you had everything to lose?

I've been broken before, i know what it feels like to see something funny and not laugh

Everything's plastic, we're all gonna die sooner or later, so what does it matter??

How can you hide from what never goes away?

Razors are painful
Rivers are damned
Acid stains you
Drugs cause cram

Guns are unlawful
Nooses give
Gas smells awful
You might as well live!

The hardest thing in this world, is to live in it.

Psychiatry is like a blind man, in a dark room, looking for a black cat, that isn't really there..
-- it's seeming foreverness, it's high cost, it's vague, esoteric terms....
