Welcome To Hell

Put me on this pedestal Tell me how no one compares Make believe you love me so Answer all my prayers I’m nothing more than who you wish The girl of your dreams come true Parade me in front of all your friends Brag I’m a fantastic screw Then with your hand of fearsome strength Knock me back down to Earth Show me how I’m nothing more Strip me of all my worth But cry no more is my new motto A single tear I’ll shed Just so I can make believe I’m not better off dead This vivid thought has crossed my mind On more than one occasion The single slice of a shiny blade An infinite evasion Only a thought, I tell myself A place I shouldn’t dwell Besides, if I decide to take my life Then who’ll make yours a living hell?
