Supreme Sacrifice Another day in the grind. Falling further behind. Living on borrowed time. Trying to make ends meet. Don’t wanna be back out on the street. Can’t survive another defeat. Looking for relief Hopeless and lost all belief A veil of tears don’t need no more grief There are those who would make the supreme sacrifice Rather than continue to fight. (2x) Suicide - Pick your poison. Suicide - Your drug of choice Suicide - No rhyme or reason Suicide - another silenced voice I know how it is. I understand discontent. I know what it’s like to feel restless. I understand the desire to alter my emotions. To control what I feel. Sometimes you want to just give up. Sometimes you want to just give up. The weight of the world on your shoulders. It’s devastating. The pressure. Self imposed. Or otherwise. You’re dealing with so much. One more thing might just be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. So you search for relief. Who wouldn’t? Who doesn’t? Relief is good right? A coupla drinks. Or some substance. Or activity. Take your mind off things. Relax. It’s all good. Forget about it all. For even a moment. Even for 15 goddamn seconds Even for 15 goddamn seconds Watching your life go by. Don’t even try. To tell me the reasons why. You deny Yourself a chance to finally see. What it’s like to be Clarity - reality. It’s so plain to see. Ultimate Sacrifice. It doesn’t look too nice See all you angels in hell.
