The Suicidal

Suicidal, but hasnt done it yet
Suicidal, until the perfect friend is met 
Not as a lover, but a brother
Will the suicidal do it? 
or will this friend stop it? 


The suicidal is dangerous as the product in the hands of an addict
As fearful as the paranoid as they panic
But this peer saves the suicidal from the grave
By speaking of his own faith

As the religious teachings resume and the suicidals demons die
The suicidal gets....................... high
Not on drugs but on life
The suicidal now smiles with a friend instead of crying with a knife

Suicidal but hasnt done it yet
Suicidal until the perfect friend is met
Not as a lover but a brother
The suicidal is the suicidal no longer
But now singing a different tone
And a life is given back to that who wanted to take their own
