[Verse 1]
I woke up so damned depressed, there's a handgun in the drawer
I'm kinda feeling dark again, found a hangman by my door
It's another black dark morning, I can't take many more
There's nothing here worth fighting for
Mama used to worry, "Son, take care of your mental health"
Don't remember where I left it, picking dust up on the shelf
God waits for me on the other side, at least that's what I tell myself
I've got nothing here worth staying for
[Chorus 1]
I aspired to something greatеr
What I expected, I don't know
I usеd to be a fighter
Now I'm just a victim of the ebb and flow
Lookin' forward to the silence, when I cut my radio
As I kneel down broken on the floor
[Verse 1]
The voice in my car stereo says the road is gonna drop
There's a dead end sign in front of me, manned by a godless cop
It gets so bad sometimes, I just want it all to stop
There's nothing here worth living for
[Chorus 2]
I'm kneeling to the stronger force, bracing for the blow
I see the traces of a fire, that burned out long ago
I packed my bags I'm ready, for the great last picture show
It's nationwide not suicide manifesto
I woke up so damned depressed, there's a handgun in the drawer
I'm kinda feeling dark again, found a hangman by my door
It's another black dark morning, I can't take many more
There's nothing here worth fighting for
Mama used to worry, "Son, take care of your mental health"
Don't remember where I left it, picking dust up on the shelf
God waits for me on the other side, at least that's what I tell myself
I've got nothing here worth staying for
[Chorus 1]
I aspired to something greatеr
What I expected, I don't know
I usеd to be a fighter
Now I'm just a victim of the ebb and flow
Lookin' forward to the silence, when I cut my radio
As I kneel down broken on the floor
[Verse 1]
The voice in my car stereo says the road is gonna drop
There's a dead end sign in front of me, manned by a godless cop
It gets so bad sometimes, I just want it all to stop
There's nothing here worth living for
[Chorus 2]
I'm kneeling to the stronger force, bracing for the blow
I see the traces of a fire, that burned out long ago
I packed my bags I'm ready, for the great last picture show
