Maybe One More Day

When I can't seem to get out of my own head.

When I feel I'd be better off dead.

I just lay down and cry.

And ask myself why.

I've made it this far.

I'm a waste.

A waste of breath.

A waste of time.

A waste of life.

Just a waste of space.

I replay every mistake ever made.

Every stupid thing I've ever said.

Goddamn, I'm tired of being in this same place.

I could end it all.

Why do I stall?

Fuck it.

I just have a few calls to make.

To tell them I love them always.

They won't miss me too much.

But my fucked-up head's not their fault.

I fall to my knees and I pray.

I can't stand my minds fucked up games.

I no longer want to play this way.

But I just got no more energy to stay.

Maybe if I ask or beg He will take all my burdens away.

I get off my knees and wipe the tears from my face.

Maybe I can make it one more day.
