To The People
I’d like to give a round of applause
 To all my friends who stayed
 To watch me die
 I must have been quite a sight there
 Cuts and dark rings around my eyes there
  
 But you held on to hope
 That I wouldn’t choke
 On the darkness I was swallowing
 That I would make it through
 And return to you
 The girl that you knew
  
 I was wrong to get your hopes up
 Tearful moments, you were choked up
 At the thought that that the pills and the words
 Were working
 It was a lie
 To say that I was alive
  
 Haha, hehe
 Look at me
 The one thing that I want to see
 Is the same thought that leaves you in agony
 In agony
  
 So let’s gather round here
 And try to catch my tears
 You know I love you dearly
 So I’m hanging on, but barely
  
 I’d like to give a round of applause
 To all the people who tried to hold me down
 A bottle of pills clutched in my hand
 And you were hoping that I hadn’t already done the job
 But one way or another I was done for
