The Last Breakdown
You stand there screaming and there’s nothing I can do, just living in the thought of you.
Those tears are streaming down your crimson cheeks of blue, I know there’s nothing left that I can do.
Just stepping forward and they’ll push you back again,
Just lay down on the floor and take your medicine,
It won’t be so bad when the morning comes my friend,
But you won’t see that this time.
This moment I can’t take,
I’m gonna learn from the world’s mistakes,
and this time I won’t fail.
Before I bend and break,
just take a look at this smile I fake,
This time I know it’s hell.
Shutup and listen’s what you said to me before, you walked over and slammed that door.
My mind’s a prison’s what you said to me before, you said you just can’t do this anymore.
Just take it off your mind, and lay it on your heart,
Put on the band aid just to cover up your scars,
You always get up and fight back until the end,
But you won’t get up this time.
This moment I can’t take,
I’m gonna learn from the world’s mistakes,
And this time I won’t fail.
Before I bend and break,
Just take a look at this smile I fake,
This time I know it’s hell.
Press the barrell against my brain,
Before they finally realize I’m insane,
And I can’t break the spell.
Squeeze the trigger once too late,
I tried my hardest not to turn to fate,
Oh love I wish you well.

I wrote this song as a way to go back into the mind of someone who's so overwhelmed that their clouded judgement and pain takes over. Though I am not suicidal, I try to remind myself what other people may be feeling or going through. This song is a way of reminding myself what it feels like to be taken over by the pain and truly believing you can't make it out alive. Even though in reality, you can.
