Convince Me

Why is allowing your last breath A form of sacrifice? If Heaven is so god dang amazing Then shoot me now I'd rather not stay here Somewhere I am overlooked each And every minute Forgotten A place where forgiveness is never Fully sincere Dissatisfaction Is much too regular here You find your love and create a life A baby, a home, a plan And it all falls down When you meet the other woman This place where you screw others Down below you To get measley papers That we psychotically grasp Somewhere you can crash a child And dump his lifeless body For the world to find Years later A world I had grown fond of Only through addictions A world I had grown fond of Only through short-lived lies Someone notice me for once And tell me all the good things That stick around forever 'Cause I know I surely wont
