TEMTPATION WAITS
One day I'm gonna kill myself
I can feel it in the air
A hopelessness surrounds my life
A sense of total despair
A hooded man is creeping
Inside my bedroom door
He's the shadow of my razors
The empty pill bottle on the floor
He's the car I see that's speeding
When I cross the street
He's the devil on my shoulder
Reminding me that I'm weak
He's the shadow of my mother
When she screams and shouts
The image of my family
Who can't shout their fuckin' mouths
He's the love you once gave me
That haunts me still at night
Every joke they tell about me
Oh so repetitive and trite
He's every college they shove in front me
Telling me that's my dream
Not knowing I cant afford it
And their efforts all feel mean
The hooded man who's always watching
Always waiting to break my pride
The one who knows the process
To rip out my insides
Hey hooded man, my arm is shaking
This pain I just can't take
Hey hooded man, my heart is quaking
I just can't bear this ache
Hey hooded man, everyone is phony
I just don't know what to do
Hey hooded man, I'm feeling lonely
But soon I'll be with you
