Suicide Watch

There is a fire burning

a consecrated yearning

to rid the violence from my soul

the guns to my head

the knife to my throat

is this the only way to get relief?

I keep calling

but can't stop falling

I keep praying

but it goes on and on

a light shines in the darkness

won't stop reaching for it

but outstretched hands are empty still

the stench of death surrounds me

I am lost

don't look at me

I'm too far gone

I keep calling

but can't stop falling

I keep praying

but it goes on and on and on

there is a fire burning

a consecrated yearning

to rid the violence from my soul

I won't stop fighting

can't do what is right

what is now always will be

and I'm in misery

I keep calling

but can't stop falling

I keep praying but it goes on and on and on
