hiding from myself in this world full of hate
denying to myself my own pain filled fate
tears that do not rise to surface in my eyes
are held in by my own selfish lies
i hold my head high as i walk through life
never knowing this isn't what i'm like

[chorus]
take this blade apon my throat
and pull it through the skin
end this torment of the world
end this pain i'm always in
oh do me a favor and take my life
pull the blade and shed the crimson gold
watch my life oh watch my life
and you'll see the pain unfold

cry this river of tears that you drown in
take this blade and make blood rise to your skin
bury me deeper in the ground so cold
dieing young instead of old
the crawling pain under my flesh
with the happy smile does not mesh

[chorus]
take this blade apon my throat
and pull it through the skin
end this torment of the world
end this pain i'm always in
oh do me a favor and take my life
pull the blade and shed the crimson gold
watch my life oh watch my life
and you'll see the pain unfold

take me to the river and hold my head under
put my life on pause so you can wonder
how i can be as desprate as this
when i have a smile you can not miss
fake is my name as is my plea
happiness to me is not the key
oh happiness to me is not the key

i have a heart as cold as ice
don't want to live through something as cruel as life
crying on my pillow every night under the stars
this pain i felt is the worst by far
yet all i do is hold onto the smile
my soul is what i hope to defile

[chorus]
take this blade apon my throat
and pull it through the skin
end this torment of the world
end this pain i'm always in
oh do me a favor and take my life
pull the blade and shed the crimson gold
watch my life oh watch my life
and you'll see the pain unfold
