Anchors away for the dead man's end,
No one on whom you can depend,
Fading away from cold reality,
With a blade, a lighter and broken CD,
There's a bag of weed in you back left pocket,
There are broken memories hidden in a rusty locket,
There are track marks running up your arms,
There's sweat stripping from your palms,
There are pills, blades and the noose you tied,
There are a thousand reasons to say goodbye,
With a line snorted and another line drawn,
You scrawl a note as your skin is torn,
You smile as you swallow, you smile wearing rope,
And you smile as your heart stops, for misery and hope.
No one on whom you can depend,
Fading away from cold reality,
With a blade, a lighter and broken CD,
There's a bag of weed in you back left pocket,
There are broken memories hidden in a rusty locket,
There are track marks running up your arms,
There's sweat stripping from your palms,
There are pills, blades and the noose you tied,
There are a thousand reasons to say goodbye,
With a line snorted and another line drawn,
You scrawl a note as your skin is torn,
You smile as you swallow, you smile wearing rope,
And you smile as your heart stops, for misery and hope.
