The Suicide Place

When I was very young at night, I'd pray someone would take my soul to keep
But now that I have come of age, I'm thankful just to lose myself in sleep
I know that will come to me in every moment til my final breath
I even disagree with those who think the sweetest angel's name is Death

I can see that dirty story on your face - and I don't wanna hear it
You've been down, down, down, down, down - to the suicide place

Some of us like cyanide, some of us think heroin is swell
But all I know is if you chose, you better learn to pick your poisons well
Every one is on his own, every person sees what he must see
And happiness is not something that comes to much or all of us for free

I can see that dirty story on your face - and I don't wanna hear it
You've been down, down, down, down, down - to the suicide place

God damn it I've seen that door, God damn it I've been there before
Some things we're better off not knowing
God damn it I've been there too, God damn it I've been like you
Hopeless does not mean you're not growing

I can see that dirty story on your face - and I don't wanna hear it
You've been down, down, down, down, down - to the suicide place

Might have been a thousand times that I was close to answering that call
Add top that the billion times that I have wished I wasn't born at all
I know what you are seeing there, I know what's at the bottom of the well
I know what I am speaking of cause I have touched the face of it myself

I can see that dirty story on your face - and I don't wanna hear it
You've been down, down, down, down, down - to the suicide place
You've been down, down, down, down, down...
