life
death is sweeter than apple juice
sweeter than honeycomb
sour than lemon juice
death is nothing more but salt and sugar fuse
as i held the gun to my head
i pray god undersrands the echo to my agony
god take me
deflate me
im gone
my life is not how i need it to be
my mind is playing games
i dont wanna play
as u tell my mother i love her
i hope she understands god is calling my name
and i answered with a trigger on my head
now i lay down to sleep
i pray to god for my soul to keep
