The End (Suicide In America)

THE END (SUICIDE IN AMERICA) - Written by Carroll Bryant

Alone in your room

You're stoned again
Thinking of the bad things in your life

And everybody owes you to help you get it right

To make it through the night

Well, that's the way you like to see it

And suicide's the way you want to end it

Your thoughts are blurry visions and can't be seen

Still one can see them on their television screen

You only tell them what you want them all to know

What you think it is they want to hear

You hide so deep inside of your depression

Inside your shell just like a tortoise

It's the only way that you can deal

It's the only way that you can feel

A helpless little stoner

Alone in your room

When it comes to reason, it can only be your way

And your way is the only way you can see it

And suicide is the way you choose to end it

Isn't it your way?

Don't do this to me, yourself

So goodbye to my mother and my father

Sorry if my life was such a bother

You know that I know that you don't love me

Or really need me

Look on the bright side, you don't have to feed me anymore

Maybe that explains why you tried to help me

To save me from myself

To save me from my hell

The only thing that's free is my falling

The only thing that leaves is my calling

The only thing that breathes is the truth that hides behind the lies

The only thing I leave is my own youth

And the tears that people cry

The only thing that matters is nothing anymore

So goodbye to my mother and my father

Sorry if my life was such a bother

You know that I know that you don't love me

Or really need me

Look on the bright side, you don't have to feed me anymore

Maybe that explains why you tried to help me

To save me from myself

To save me from my hell

The only thing that matters is nothing anymore
