Ticking, <br />The clock won’t stop, <br />Just ticking, <br />Making my heart drop. <br /> <br />I wish that things were simple, <br />I wish that things were right, <br />I wish I had the strength to, <br />Make it through the night. <br /> <br />Dripping, <br />The sink goes on, <br />Just dripping, <br />Adding to a song. <br /> <br />I wish that things were simple, <br />I wish that things were right, <br />I wish I had the strength to, <br />Make it through the night. <br /> <br />Paranoid, <br />Everything bugs me, <br />Paranoid, <br />What a fucking tragedy, <br />Got a needle, <br />Got a knife, <br />All I need now, <br />Is the strength to take my life. <br /> <br />I wish that things were simple, <br />I wish that things were right, <br />I wish I had the strength to, <br />Make it through the night. <br /> <br />Stuck without strength, <br />No strength to live, <br />No strength to die, <br />So lift my arm, <br />And take my life.<br /><br />Emily E.
