I Chose Wrong

There's a person in my head,
He tells me what to think,
He asks why aren't I dead?
I block him out with drink.

There's a person in my head,
He says I'm ugly and weak,
He repeats why aren't I dead?
I block him out with sleep.

There's a person in my head,
He grows stronger by lights out,
He screams why aren't I dead?
I fail to block him out.

There's a person in my head,
Why does he always taunt?
He made me climb that tree,
I'll give him what he wants.

I cleared him from my head,
It didn't take that long,
And now I'm finally dead,
Too bad that I chose wrong.
