Death Wish

Life has taken a fucking bat to my brain.
I'm doing all I can to stay sane.
This ball of emotions thought it'd play a game of catch,
but there's four walls for the outfield
and I'm up to bat.
I'll try to knock it out of the park
and hit a home run,
but the ball always bounces back.
I've made it to third but I'm out.

Back to square one.
This life is a grenade thrown at my feet.
I'm not getting any sleep
as I wait for it to explode.
Around and around in circles I go.
When will the timer stop?
When will this madness end?
My brain needs its rest.
I need to catch my breath.

All this time and I've gotten no where.
Is this all life is?
People are born for the ride but they can never get off,
make it stop!

In life there's no easy way.
So tell me,
what's the point in being safe?
Why not add a death wish
into the mix?
At least thrill will sky rocket.
At least then we'll have some fun.

Go on, hit our brain with a bat.
Play with a ball that always bounces back.
Throw a grenade into the mix.
Let's have a little fun with this
death wish.
