Death be your only escape

Light the fire

Walk away

Save the tears

For another day.

Slit your wrists 

Watch the blood pour

Ignore the demons

Banging at your door.

Light the fire

Stoke the flames

The tears come

Your sick of these games.

Tie the noose 

Kick away the chair

You just can't die

And it's just not fair.

Light the fire

Stand in the middle

Ignore the pain

Try to solve the riddle.

Sit in the corner

Claw at your face

Is there just no way

To end this disgrace?

Light the fire

Tremble in fear

watch the flames

As the demons draw near.

Scream in pain

Close your eyes

Wish you could escape

This life you despise. 

You can't light the fire

You can't walk away

You can't stop the tears

You were saving for another day.

The demons have you now

You retreat inside your mind

Searching for the escape

You are yet to find.

You can't light the fire

You can't stand in the flames

The tears have come

You're sick of these games.

They kiss you 

And lick you

They bear their teeth

They bite you.

You cry

You search your mind

For the escape 

You are yet to find.

The demons leave you

You're still, cold and quiet

You cannot cry

You cannot die.

Where is your fire?

You tremble in fear

Why can't you die?

But your escape draws near.

Death be your only wish

Death be your only thought

Death be your only desire

Death be your only escape.
