Why can't I just die
My last 10 yrs were a waste,
The sedimentary lifestyle and the nothing of my life I have made.
I just want to fade.
I want to fade off and never breathe again.
I used to be happy now I just want to make ammends.
How long can I pretend.
Pretend that I'm not falling apart,
Pretend that I dont want a new start.
This whole world is going to shit and I'm going down with this ship.
I want this razor to slip.
I want my life to fade out,
I want to stop the shout.
