I edited the lyrics of "Baby Don't Cut" by BMike, so suicide warning. This song may have been edited, but it is based solely on true events that had happened to the songwriters friends.

He's only 27, his whole life's ahead of him.
He hates life because the people there discredit him.
His best friend tries to show him that's not how it seems.
But every day he just gets lowered with his self-esteem.
Toast lets Ghost know that every night will have a brighter day,
Ghost even tried to overdose and take his life away.
Toat's feeling hopeless there just sitting down beside Ghost's bed,
And then he takes his hand and places it beside Ghost's head.

He tries to hold him but with every touch Ghost still resists,
And then he sees the scars that bury deep within Ghost's wrists,
Ghost's feeling numb, Toast tries to beg and plead and ask him, "Why?"
Ghost says this way he has control of pain he feels inside.
Toast's asking Ghost, "How long it's going since you've felt this way?
Because you got me here, just feeling so damn helpless."
Ghost says, "It's been a while. I guess I needed better luck."
And then Toast screams at him and tells her, "Johnny, never cut!"

Nobody seems to get you, you feel you're on your own,
But listen, little Ghostie, you don't have to be alone.
So, Johnny, don't cut, Johnny, don't cut.
You can do anything, just promise, Johnny, you won't cut.
I know your heart is hurting, you think the road has end,
You may just feel that blade you're holding is your only friend.
But, Johnny, don't cut, Johnny, don't cut.
You can do anything, just promise, Johnny, you won't cut.

The next day at work he's feeling better than the day before.
Ghost even cracked a couple smiles as he walked the corridor.
But all that seemed to end: he dropped his files when he walked into the HQ.
And every client in the room just seemed to point and laugh.
He couldn't take it anymore, he sent Toast a text.
He said, "I always thought of you as a brother, love you with my body, heart and soul to death."
Toast thought nothing, typed, "I love you", then he sent it.
By "death" he didn't know that Ghost had literally just meant it.

Ghost ducked the next case, ran home into his bathroom.
Thought to himself he wouldn't break Toast's promise that soon.
One cut... two cuts... three cuts... four
The blood just started dripping from the tub to the floor.
Toast had a feeling in his stomach that he hated.
He followed it right down to Ghost's house he never waited.
The front door was open, he heard the water running.
He stormed into the bathroom and his heart just started gunning.

Toast puts Ghost's arm around his shoulder, he's tryna lean Ghost back up.
Yelling out his name as Toast lays him beside the bathtub.
Feels his whole world just took a hit from a big avalanche.
Screaming out so heavily, "Somebody call an ambulance!"
Feeling mad angry like somebody's led Ghost onto this.
Ghost's eyeballs are rolling, drifting out of consciousness.
Thinking to himself why the hell didn't Ghost stop at will.
The tears just keep on rolling as they head to the hospital.

Paramedics rush Ghost in, doctor calls emergency.
He's lost a lot of blood the place looks like a murder scene,
An hour later, the doc walks over with a sour face,
And says, "Excuse me for the words that I'm about to say.
I'm sorry for your loss," Toast just starts collapsing.
His own world, his own brother just took a crashing.
Saying to himself that it's his fault and that he let it up.
"Johnny, I thought you made a promise you would never cut."
