"I Tried For Years"

Ive tried for years to cover the scars

But nothing ever seems to work

Ive tried to stop the bleeding

But the pain is all i can control

I need the pain like you need air

I dont know why, but i know you caused this

I only break the skin because i cant

Get over the way it ended up.

You stopped the heart beats and broke my rhythm

But out of twisted cruelty breathed life into me again

You brought me back when i was so close  

To being so far away from here.

I only begged for the end

And you had to make me start all over again.

You said it was a new beginning

One that i never wanted

A new beginnin that i had tried

To run from for years.

You forced me onto this path

And now i suffer like no other

Every single day.

Walkin down a new path of life

Thats just like the rest

They all lead to the same place

Death.

So why seperate an let

You have an easier path.

Why stop me from reaching the end?

All i wanted for years was for this journey to be over.

Life brings nothing but pain and

Death brings the relief ive always needed.

I tried for years

You took that away.

Now I will try for many more.
