Escape from the ZOO
Firelink
I cannot count the times I've found myself perched upon the ledge
Knees weak, I ponder as the pavement is inviting me to jump
Though I'm aware it's nothin' more than an imbalance in my head
I find no solace in that knowledge
Bitter sweet is wakin' up
Just gotta pretend and say
Everything's gonna be okay
All the while recognizing that the party's winding down
As the candles keep amassing on the birthday cake
Mental health is something that we truly need to pay more mind to
We've lost too many friеnds to suicide to
Keep ignoring signs; if you need help we'vе got you
We're always just a phone call away
We're stick with a stigma that severs every lifeline
With nowhere to go and options running out
I get the craving to escape
But there are reasons here to stay and we're all dyin' anyway
So I think you should stick around
Goodbye then, be safe friend
Don't you dare go hollow
There's so much left to do and see
No time to weep and wallow
I know that shit is tough right now
And surely worse may follow
Just remember to take care and kindle your flame
Do what you must do to keep yourself sane
No judgment you'll find here
Our brains all atrophy the same
(We're all in this shit)
