I Want To Die [ So I Maybe Set Free]

by Jack Daniels - Virgo

Whats the reason for living?
I'm caught in the squall
How can I go on?
I want to end it all

I thought I was tough
But I'm not really strong
I thought I was right
I learned I was wrong

I've cried so many times
I'm begining to laugh
Its like a play and I know all the lines
I'm reaching the final act

How many ways to die?
How many tears to cry?
How many ways to fall in the dark?
How many ways to lose your heart?

How about a knife in the heart?
Or a shot in the night?
HOw about petrol and a spark?
Or an impossible fight?

I stand looking at the ledge
Something lifts from me 
As i fall over the edge
Setting me free

And just before the black closes in
I see your face in front of me
Will I be able to repent my sins?

After the deed is done
I lie broken and shattered
On the valley floor

I know death will come
My souls in tatters
I can't take this anymore....

Reason for writing:

    ...depression....
