Suicidal Prayer
slit your wrists
open the wound

blood is pouring down
wash away your problems, dear
yeah, you're stupid

they'll go away
they won't stay
wash away your problems, dear
tomorrow won't happen
forever is coming
wash away your problems, dear

a pool of
red
your pool of life
slowly growing larger
the thread is cut
your out of luck
you're stupid

want to die
this is the time
decision - take or leave
not too long
time's almost gone
breath is short

turn back now
cover it up
try to hold your life inside
as it flows
on down your arm
wash away your problems dear

and so it ends
this night of nights
the warmth has drained of her
she washed away her problems now
in a tidal surge of red
regret she felt before she went
but now what can she do?

The person's problems. It's saying that the problems they have will go away or get better, that they wont be here forever.
