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
