Bullet

My legs are dangling off the edge

The bottom of the bottle is my only friend

I think I'll slit my wrists again

And I'm gone, gone, gone, gone

My legs are dangling off the edge

A stomach full of pills didn't work again

I'll put a bullet in my head

And I'm gone, gone, gone, gone

Gone too far, yeah, I'm gone again

It's gone on too long, tell you how it ends

I'm sittin' on the edge with my two best friends

One's a bottle of pills and one's a bottle of gin

I'm twenty stories up, yeah, up at the top

I'll polish off this bottle, now it's pushing me off

Asphalt to me has never looked so soft

I bet my momma found the letter, now she's calling the cops

I gotta take this opportunity before I miss it

'Cause now I hear the sirens and they're off in the distance

Believe me when I tell you that I been persistent

'Cause I'm more scarred, more scarred than my wrist is

I been trying too long with too dull of  a knife

But tonight I made sure that I sharpened it twice

I never bought a suit before in my life

But when you go to meet God, you know, you wanna look nice

So if I survive, then I'll see you tomorrow

Yeah, I'll see ya tomorrow

My legs are dangling off the edge

The bottom of the bottle is my only friend

I think I'll slit my wrists again

And I'm gone, gone, gone, gone

My legs are dangling off the edge

A stomach full of pills didn't work again

I'll put a bullet in my head

And I'm gone, gone, gone, gone

You hit the sky, there goes the light

No more sun, was it always night?

When you can't sleep, well, you can't dream

When you can't dream, well, what's life mean?

We feel a little pity but don't empathize

The old are gettin' older, watchin' young men die

A mother and a son of someone you know

Smile at each other and realize they don't

You don't know what happened to that kid you raised

What happened to the father who swore he'd stay?

I didn't know 'cause you didn't say

Now momma feels guilt, yeah, momma feels pain

When you were young you never thought you'd die

Found out you could but too scared to try

Looked in the mirror and you said goodbye

Climbed to the roof to see if you could fly

So if I survive, then I'll see you tomorrow

Yeah, I'll see ya tomorrow

My legs are dangling off the edge

The bottom of the bottle is my only friend

I think I'll slit my wrists again

And I'm gone, gone, gone, gone

My legs are dangling off the edge

A stomach full of pills didn't work again

I'll put a bullet in my head

And I'm gone, gone, gone, gone

I wish that I could fly way up in the sky

Like a bird, so high, oh, I might just try

I wish that I could fly way up in the sky

Like a bird, so high, oh, I might just try

Oh, I might just try
