Ladies and Gentlemen, Hope Has Left the Building

We look at your life and don't think twice You've got the best of all worlds Then we hear, suicide And realize this isn't Disney World Who knows the deep dark secrets That each and everyone hides Who's been promised this life but can't keep it Turning off the switch before their time Does hope never visit the hopeless Has it left with no forwarding address With those depressed would we know it If we had to make a wild guess The non suffering have no way of knowing The darkness that invades the soul A pain that's continually growing Until it takes full control The world outside sees your love for this life And never truly understands As you struggle to find the thoughts in your mind say Suicide is all you have left
