Better Off Dead

Trapped down, spiraled through the past

In time to see that it won't last

Train of thought clouding my desire

To feel the burn without touching the fire

Watch it go (far behind)

Through the past

I'll find a way

To put you in my past

But you don't know what I've been through

You see the pain stare back at you

Just in case you don't seem to mind

I'll be here doing more than fine

Sitting back I retrace my steps

And realize there's nothing left

Thinking about what you once said

Made me feel better off dead

Speak the truth no matter where it lie

I close my eyes to see the world pass me by

Can't explain this feeling deceit

When I see you follow my own retreat

Passed out, drunken with despair

I shatter glass but you don't seem to care

Will this horror escape my peaceful mind

Before I leave these feelings far behind
