Tendencies

                  

Called upon by a silent prayer I rise from the dead

Come to me, be free, and rest your saddened head

Give away all your worries there is nothing to lose

Kick away the chair and fall into the waiting noose

In this world of pain you make only mistakes

Your parents hate you, your friends share no tastes

Is this how you feel? As an unwanted pest?

It's okay now, come and join the rest

We're all like you here, lost and unruly

Here you are not alone, together truly

We fend for ourselves and protect one another

Hiding away the pain that we smother

So cast away your doubts and fears and take a step forward

Open the mystery door, you will be rewarded

Free from the strain and terror of life

A pleasure greater than kisses from a knife

Cast away your mortal skin

And life forever, as a shadow of sin

Your body adorned with permanent reminders

Scars of your wars, self-administered

Soon your troubles will be over

And wounds will open anew

You can feel the light slipping away

Reliving your life as if it were yesterday

Write your will of sin on the wall

Drawn in blood, giving away your all

You sign- "I give the nothing I own to no one"

"For no one deserves the emptiness I own"

"To absolve myself from the guilt I carry"

"I will take Death's cold, dead hand to marry"

Taking the final step you cannot breathe

The dark comes with swiftness and ease

All of your worries gone forever

It seems to make everything better

No more sadness, no more tear

Just a red grin from ear to ear
