YOUR LAST BREATH

FRUSTRATION SETS IN  
BROUGHT ON BY FAMILY AND FRIENDS
THEIR RELENTLESS VOICES
DRIVES YOU TO A BITTER END
 
AND ALL YOU CAN DO
IS BITE YOUR LIP AND GRIN
AS THE TORCHERS OF THEIR TONGUES
TRY TO WORK THEIR WAY IN
 
THERE'S NO WHERE TO GO
YOU MUST NOT LET THEM KNOW
YOU'RE ONLY 16
AND THE ROAD OF LIFE IS SO LONG
 
YOU CAN'T HIDE THE PAIN  
OF SO MANY YEARS
AND COUNTLESS AMOUNTS  
OF FORFEITED TEARS
 
THE WHISPERS OF DEATH
RING LOUD IN YOUR EARS
AS THEY LAUGH AT
THE SPARKLING  
TEARS IN YOUR EYES
TRYING TO COMFORT YOU
WITH SYMPATHETIC LIES
 
YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
HAVE ALL GONE ASTRAY
YOU CAN'T LET THEM KNOW
YOU'RE GOING AWAY
 
THE DARK FEELING INSIDE  
IS TRYING TO MAKE ITSELF KNOWN
TO CARRYING PEOPLE
CLOSE TO HOME
 
BUT THEY CANNOT SEE
THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS
A CARING VOICE
AND MAYBE A KISS  
 
THEY SAY IT'S PROBLEMS
WE ALL MUST FACE
SO THEY SEND YOU
TO A CARING PLACE
 
A PLACE TO SHARE
ALL YOUR THOUGHTS
WITH OTHERS WHO HAVE DEATH
IN THEIR VOICE AND ON THEIR FACE  
 
THE DEATH ON YOUR LIPS  
NOW TURNING TO A GRIN
BECAUSE YOU HAVE FOUND
MANY NEW FRIENDS
 
ALL WHO KNOW
THE THOUGHTS YOU DO  
AND THE FEARS
FROM FAR WITHIN
 
IT'S BEEN A FEW MONTHS
AND IT'S NOW YOUR TURN
TO BE KICKED
BACK INTO REALITY
 
YOUR ONCE FRIENDS
ARE NO LONGER THERE
AND YOUR FAMILY
NO LONGER CARES
 
THEY DON'T SAY IT OUT LOUD
BUT YOU CAN SEE IT
BEHIND THEIR STARES
 
THE LONG AGO FEELING
YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD ESCAPED  
IS NOW CREEPING
BACK INTO IT'S SPACE  
 
YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH TOO MUCH
WITHOUT A CARING TOUCH
 
YOU NOW KNOW WHAT TO DO
IT'S IN YOUR REACH
ALL YOUR CLOTHS OFF
ON SOME DESILENT BEACH
 
THE WAVES SOUND SO PRETTY
AS THEY CRASH IN YOUR EARS
WASHING AWAY
YOUR NOW FLOWING TEARS
 
YOU LET OUT YOUR BREATH  
AND UNDER YOU GO
AND FOR THAT SPLIT SECOND
YOU FEEL THE BEAUTY  
YOU SO LONGED TO KNOW  
 
YOUR CARES ARE ALL GONE  
AS TIME GOES ON
NEVER TO BE REMEMBERED
FROM THIS MOMENT ON...
