The Journey
I wonder what my suicide will do to my family
Will they think they failed themselves, didn’t love me or care for me?
Will they need therapy? Will my mom and dad blame their parenting?
When they speak about their children would it be too embarrassing?

Damaging is my posthumous effect
Forever a subtle yet haunting and ominous regret
Lingers over my soul and makes my brother upset
From emotions I’ve repressed built up from utter neglect

What’ll be the legend of my death?
Asphyxia from a rope? An overdose from what I ingest?
I bet I die just shy of my best and people criticize why I left
Cuz they think life is priceless

Well who’s gon' pay respect at my funeral huh?
Who’s gon' speak about my life and lie and say it was beautiful?
Will anyone care *censored* like it and share
And send a prayer from they’re office cubicles

Take a trip and get lost with me
My blood line stops with me
Take me away on the gurney
And listen to my words and follow me on my journey

Take a trip and get lost with me
My blood line stops with me
Take me away on the gurney
And listen to my words and follow me on my journey
Follow me all the way, living’s so hard today
And I don’t know how much longer I can take it
How much longer I can fake it, how much longer I can be this, how much longer I can treat this
How much longer I can keep this inside
I’m all alone and nobody by my side
Except U and I and maybe S
And like those letters my life has nothing left
It’s so hard to live when you’re a failure at everything but a perfectionist
So follow me all the way
All the way, all the way

Take a trip and get lost with me
My blood line stops with me
Take me away on the gurney
And listen to my words and follow me on my journey

Take a trip and get lost with me
My blood line stops with me
Take me away on the gurney
And listen to my words and follow me on my journey

Follow me all the way, all the way all the way
Follow me all the way, all the way all the way
