Every day I sit and think, why does this side of me stand out so prominent?
I never know if this will be my last. Will I be a footnote or will my memory last?
Verse 1
I sit and wait for a day that may never come.
I try and fail, forever overcome.
The emotions I try to hide, depression that won’t subside.
I sit in my head, why won’t it end? Why can’t I just be dead?
Will I ever be enough? How can I prove I’ve got the right stuff?
I’m never chosen, I’m never needed. Tossed aside, left behind, never a thought in your mind.
No matter how hard I wish and pray, I’ll never be the choice. I’ll never have a voice.
Forever lost and never missed, that's the fate I’ve been assigned. Please just change my mind!
Chorus
I’ve got the blade poised and ready,
Just one cut, it only takes one cut!
The blade shakes, my hand unsteady,
Just one cut, it only takes one cut!
I just want it to end already,
Just one cut, it only takes one cut!
Verse 2
Every day, the same damn thing. They only care about what I can bring!
Never care about my tears, never ask about my fears.
Just another day, just another day!
Here’s another way to get through it all: a handful of pills and some alcohol!
Take the gun, cock it back, go to sleep with the sound of a crack.
So many ways to find some peace. All I want is to be heard, to be seen, to be wanted, to be loved.
Why can’t I be someone’s dream or happy memory?
Chorus
I’ve got the blade poised and ready,
Just one cut, it only takes one cut!
The blade shakes, my hand unsteady,
Just one cut, it only takes one cut!
I just want it to end already,
Just one cut, it only takes one cut!
Verse 3
I watch as they come and go, reasons and excuses, but I know.
I’m not the man that you choose, I’m the one you know you won’t lose!
Here we go again, my story on repeat. No matter what I do, I always face defeat!
Not chosen in the end, I’m always just a friend!
Don’t fall, don’t care, don’t bring those feelings over here.
Don’t cry, don’t lie, just pretend everything is alright.
All I want is to feel love, like a warming light.
Stuck in the darkness, I see it all, so welcoming and bright.
But I belong to the shadows, and the darkness only grows.
Who knows what’s waiting below? Just sink into the shadow!
Chorus
Sink into the shadows, belong to the gallows!
Darkness calls and it’s time to fall!
Sink into the shadows, belong to the gallows!
The light fades as you give up on it all!
The light fades, the light fades!
The shadows call, give up on it all!
Give in, answer the call to the void.
Answer the call, give up on it all, go into the shadows, answer their call!
