Have you ever wanted to die?

'Cause I have, so many times,

Yet I didn't

Because I just couldn't

Seem to take the blades all the way inside.

Have you ever wanted cry so bad,

That you could forget whatever the pain you had?

Cry out your voice

For all your decoys

Until you no longer feel so wholly sad?

Have you wanted to collapse right where you are?

To crouch down in a crowd and stare at your palms,

Watch its lines meet,

And then drift off into sleep,

Waking up to a place very, very far?

Have you wanted to live out loud?

Live outside your head and the voices around?

I want it everyday,

The power to say,

Everything I want to say to the world right now.

Well, have you?
