It's not that i'm talking to myself again
that never stopped,
but now i'm starting to listen
and the voices in my head
keep telling me that i
should end myself
i never thought that, i'd be here again
but they keep on coming back
i keep letting them in
and i swear someday i'll tell myself
I'd rather outlive you
so i can dance on your grave
and that's more respect than you deserve
for making me feel this way
You can sit back
and tell me that it's all inside of my head
but that's the problem
you can sit back
and try to understand
but it's a pain i feel
almost everyday
it's more than i can ever write
more than i care to explain
but right now i can stand here and say
I'd rather outlive you
so i can dance on your grave
and that's more respect than you deserve
for making me feel this way
I'd rather outlive you
so i can live myself
so sick of being alive
for someone else
