Don't Watch As I Self-Destruct
Location
There's a crime that's stuck inside my mind
A life built on this crooked line
I'm lost in these innocent times
My cries are unheard
My destination is absurd
So many crowding around my room
Hoping to ask
Wishing I'd tell
My answers lie down in Hell
Who are these people?
They're staring through the keyhole
Drowning me in their eyes
Then leaving without a good-bye
There's nowhere to hide in this place
Nowhere to go that's safe
Meds strike the thoughts about me
Calm my nerves
Please don't look at me!
My wounds are here
My damage is clear
To anybody that goes by
Witnesses to my weakness
A permanent lullaby
These walls are crashing down upon me
Desperate cries scratch at my lungs
Forcing me to hold my tongue
If I'm found I'll be kept here
My greatest fear
Not to leave this house of tears
A doctor opens the door
The patient's unresponsive
A pool of blood on the floor
Check my pulse
Make your calls
I won't survive my lifetime
I'm now peaceful
A light is shining
White clothing
At my bedside
They ask, "Is she okay?"
He replies, "We're too late."
There was nowhere to hide in this place
Nowhere to go that was safe
I striked the thoughts about me
Calmed my nerves
While they stared at me!
My wounds are here
My damage is clear
To anybody that went by
Witnesses to my weakness
They're singing my lullaby
