Easy Way Out

snap, twang goes my neck,
as i step off the chair,
the rope tightens through my hair,
the sudden break i'm glad i feel nothing at
all 
i swing back and forth from the beam,
hanging off the wall
i gurgle with the last breath of life,
with nothing else to call,
the paramedics get there to cut the rope,
but lifeless to the ground i fall,
i don't have any more life to give,
but life for me is now to hard for me
to live.
