Hey Suicide

Hey Suicide, you spot me when my brain won't take a breath You come on like a friend Paint a picture of the end As if it's not another bend That the world goes round when you're not breathing Hey Suicide, I wish you'd take a break when I'm ok But you show up anyway Never lasts but who's to say You'll make your final stop one day Try to claim myself before you take me So Suicide, what if you're just my childhood trying to breathe? Best not to leave if I'm to conquer All the things I once believed Just let me breathe a little longer Hey Suicide, amalgamation born from chemistry Funny how you change your face Tailored to my time and place Whatever fears I must erase Validate them with such patient fervor But Suicide, you scare me when you show in my brother's voice Why go chase another doom? Don't I give you all the room? But that's your genius: to consume You're the end result of every ego So if I go, it'll be because I let you own my pain I'm not keeping sane I'm keeping wary of your love diminish games Just let me breathe a little longer Don't lock your room when I call your name Every second counts You foul up, I'll need you just the same And so it goes if you're not around But that's the heartbreak revolving door Old as we could feel You ask me now I couldn't ask for more You're on a wave and calm is at the shore Thought is strong, the self is stronger And it's yours to choose It's your heartbeat But won't you breathe a little longer?
