Better Off Dead

I woke up surprised and disappointed

to find out I was still me,

Last night should've killed me.

Took a shower couldn't scrub it off

Tried to scream, I could only cough

I can't trust myself to be my own friend.

Exhausted by the effort it takes to breathe,

The Whole world is against me

That's what I belive,

don't waste your empathy on me

[Chorus]

I'm through puttin one foot in front of the other

I'm do wanna run for cover

From the moment I wake up til I'm

starin at the ceiling trying to sleep

I wonder if I have a soul to keep.

Voices in my head will not turn off

There's a heavy weight on top

of my chest today,

I don't want it to go away because,

the moment I let down my guard,

life will hit me twice as hard

My mistake, I thought I could have

just one day off

From pushing boulders up steep hills,

playin in traffic for cheap thrills

I don't know what to do

that's why I'm tellin you that

[Chorus]

Sometimes there's nothing on my mind

but everything at one time

Find me sliding backwards down

to where I don't want to be found

Stop with these tests give me some rest

My heart is beating right out of my chest

I do believe I have a soul to keep.
