lyrics

I hang myself, but my rope was gone
Felt a bullet between my eyes
But I couldnt find my gun
And I swallowed all the pills I got
But those pills wouldnt let me sleep
I forgot and I tried to find a bottle
But my whiskey was gone.

I broke the bottle To cut myself
Afraid of getting to deep So it didnt help
A plastic bag around my neck
I wish I could find the leak
And I filled the bath, but I forgot the plug
Took a deep breath
But I choked by the first drop.

And as long there isnt someone who could help me down
Ill keep trying to knock myself into the ground.

Well Ill try to But my job is done
Feel the pain in my chest, now my courage is all gone
And I wish there was something you could do, but if you did Oh I owe you
There would be Nothing I could do to help you
There would be nothing I could do.

And as long there isnt someone who could help me down
Ill keep trying to knock myself into the ground
And as long there isnt someone who could help me down
Ill keep trying to knock myself into the ground.

But really it’s like with abstract paintings: You can always find somebody who says: ‚I could have done that.’ Yeah – but they didn’t!“ ... more
