The great escape from life is what I'm about to take
Yeah it's the easy way out
All my friends would scream and shout
This isn't really about them
It's about how I want it to end
I realized everything I'd leave behind
Friends, family, and the love I wanted to find
Everyone I know would be pissed
I know I'd be terribly missed
They'd be angry for the way I left
Thinking I should have dealt with the stress
I could deal with it and continue on
It would be like one really long sad song
Dealing with it could be just fine
Or I could just go out of my mind
Of the latter I don't want to take a chance
I'd rather have it done with in less than one glance
I know it sounds stupid
What would you do if the world went putrid?
It's certainly starting to stink up in here
Which could be the reason I have no fear
I think about all I'm gaining even though I'm losing
It's hard for me to be the one to do the choosing
I look back at my retarded decision
I immediately stop my incision
I have more to live for than if I'd die
Lying on the floor I do nothing but cry
What did I almost do?
Who did I almost lose?
Do I really want to take that away?
Hell no! I'll live to see another day
