To escape I would take my own life just for the pleasure.
Thereâs no more holding on.
No more holding back.
Youâre just in time for my final act.
Thereâs a knife, thereâs a gun,
Iâve got some pills and some booze,
Tie myself to train tracks,
Or hang from a noose.
Either way, this will all be over soon.
The next time you see me,
Iâll be on the evening news.
Iâm wide awake
Iâm wide awake, but I dream I sleep forever.
To escape I would take my own life just for the pleasure.
Thereâs a wake.
Closed casket, open seats, with black roses surrounding a picture of me.
My mother.
The only one who weeps over a tombstone that reads,
âOut of his misery.â
Iâm wide awake
Iâm wide awake, but I dream I sleep forever.
To escape I would take my own life just for the pleasure.
Thereâs no life flashing before my eyes.
Iâm dying to see the other side.
You did this to me.
Youâll see.
Youâll be sorry.
Iâm wide awake
Iâm wide awake, but I dream I sleep forever.
To escape I would take my own life just for the pleasure.
Thereâs no life flashing before my eyes.
Iâm dying to see the other side.
You did this to me.
Youâll see.
Youâll be sorry.
