Bullet's Better Than A Kleenex

Shadows of dread linger over tomorrow,
Threatening to open with me in tears
Finding your lifeless body
Done with drowning in its sorrow

Through your haze of misery your frozen heart is burning,
Leaving behind blue embers to eat away at my sanity.

Begging you stay, endure the suffering with me
My screams and blood drawn, adding to guilt
You fend off the inner critic egging on the gun
A battle raging inside you're losing miserably

The hollow promises to hold on for me
are nothing more than weight pulling
You into the bottom to struggle
Fighting to end the pain and tragedy

Through your haze of misery your frozen heart is burning,
Leaving behind blue embers to eat away at my sanity.

Your heart refuses to be quiet its cries
Trying to expose what your head masks
and you desperately try to smother with
the white noise of logic and lies

Your new friend is loaded and ready to jump
at your command and the cheers from inside
Cold metal glistening, reflecting your desperate need
to eat a final meal of lead

The gun falling from your cold hands,
your empty eyes finally found
a bullet is better than a kleenex
