Self Murder
I see you trying to lure me to you.
I see you occupying my space whenever I’m alone.
I see you jump into my head when I put it on the pillow.
I feel your presence in the room when I can’t sleep at night.
I see you promising me nothing but peace and silence.
You made me think that you were my safe haven.
You gave me a test, I took it and I failed.
You gave me another one, I took it and failed.
I see you trying to show me what a great angel I could be.
Too bad I got no strength.
Too bad I’m afraid, I’m scared.
Too bad that I’m smart.
I’m smart that I can see past you.
I can see past you that I got my whole life ahead of me.

I can see past you that I am here on purpose.
I can see past you that I got a bright future,
And I gotta be here when it shines.
I can see past you that greatness is to come my way,
And I gotta be here for it.
I can see past you that I am going to change the world.
I can see past you because I got the biggest dreams.
I mean, I got only two decades on earth
What do I know about life?
Let me experience it, let me live it.
Even when it’s beating me up, let me live.
I am sorry my friend, I’m afraid of death.
So, leave me alone.
