Please don't kill yourself, I'm talking to you
And I don't pretend to know everything that you've been through
But if its shame you feel, just know that I have shame too
And if its pain you're feeling just know that's something I went through
I don't know your story but I know you and me are a lot alike
So let me talk to you for a minute while I got this mic
I was 14 when I pulled a knife out at the time I felt like my options had run out
So I put that knife to my wrist and I cut it to half way and I tried to muster up the courage to put myself away that day
But half way into that cut I stopped Tears flooded my eyes and my blood dropped.
And I sat in my room and I sobbed for an hour On the outside I was fine on the inside a coward
The noise of my depression got louder and louder
I had planned a way out of a baptism shower of gunpowder
I've been lied too, like you're being lied too right now
Other people can't help you, but I might know how
Cause I've walked through your shoes and I've been at my lowest And if you don't know anything, know this.
You might tell me you're gonna kill yourself, and you're close to this. And god wants to meet you in the middle of your hopelessness
God wants to give you a way out of these feelings of doubt And the sounds of chaos might be reverberating around you like heavy metal
But confusion isn't from god, its straight form the devil.
And he wants to silence the noise and bring peace to you
And I promise if you just ask him, he'll see you through
You got to this place because you tried fighting your own fight, and where did that get you to besides contemplating about taking your own life?
And if you got bullied to this point, I'm sorry you went through that
But god wants to take those words from your attacker and send them back
You don't have to be defined by what people said about you
Let me pick you up if you don't know how to you're not alone man, you got a friend in me
You got better days ahead of you. I just pray you begin to see know that everything the devil did to you, he just wants you to replay
But everything the Devil took from you, God wants to replace.
Listen to me right now, and you better look at me right in the face
You were created for more than to die in this place
Don't do it man, please don't take your life Just take my hand and we'll make this right
I promise if you do this, you'll regret it, you'll wake up in eternity of remember I said it
And you wish so bad, that you could just go back. I'm here for you right now please just know that
And if you think you're alone in this fight, you've been lied to, that depression came after me and I nearly died too.
I thought suicide was the only way, and that death was meant for me.
The Devil played his music and I sat front row through that symphony.
I walked through the fire and I felt that heat,
But I pushed passed the clutter and I stood to my feet
I walked out and refused to look back I took my depression and through it right back into that wood stack
And that fire must've blazed 50 feet high, And now I plan on leaving a legacy to look back on some day when I die
And right now I'm telling you to stand up too,
Deep down inside, you know it's the right thing to do
Think about your family, think about you.
Don't kill yourself, please don't do it.
Whatever you're facing, God will see you through it I had a friend herself, and her mom asked if I could come to see her
She was depressed and asked if I could meet her. But I was too lazy. Two weeks later, depression beat her.
I cried.
I cried.
I cried.
I beat myself up for it because it was all my fault. Why? I can't do this anymore..just why?
I wish I could change your mind, I wish right now I could crawl through the speakers and somehow convince you not to go the same route she did,
I wish I could change the fact that you feel defeated I wish I could lock my arms around you and tell the Devil to beat it
But I can't reach to everyone, even though I do my best to try.
Some people just believe the lie that it's just best to die, and they think it's the simple way out but they're not here to see the way things play out
They don't see the hurt they cause, the pain they leave I take this seriously
This isn't a game to me. Even thinking about ending your life is living dangerously
I know it hurts you a lot..but if you go..it'll hurt everyone who cared about you even more
So please just listen to my voice right now, you have a choice
You could choose life, or get drowned by the noise
Please don't do it, please just ask for help
If not for your family, do it for yourself. Do it for me. Please..
