I Couldn't End Me, So I'd Like to See You Try

Every day I've been walking on a tightrope

Calculating steps to avoid the fall

There's no way to tell when it all comes crashing down

The strings that bind the body and the mind

Tear thinner and thinner and thinner

Death isn't an answer but the end to justify the means

It follows me like around like an imp on my shoulder

These are the words of a survivor trying to live past my expiration date

2013 and memories of admiration

A pledge to join the 27 club

But I'll keep moving

There's nothing that can stop me

She's tired but this dog can lick her wounds

She's battered but she isn't dead yet

You can't kill me motherfucker

So tell me what's next

The only way you can put this bitch down

Is to wrap your hands around my neck

Try to touch me and I'll drag you down

The only way you can put this dog to sleep

Is to wrap you hands around my neck

Mirrors mocking me made real and here to stay

The day to day is tiring I got to play

The role of a human being with a soul

When my face takes everything that feels real away

As I cling to the side of the ship of life

Left off the raft 'til last
