My Basement Room

Dave Herrick

When my world turned around more than once in a day

And Im saving up all my words but have nothing to say

When my life buries me inside a dark toom

I thank god that I'll always have my basement room



I have nothing to loose and I have no regrets

I make no promises but I have empty threats

Thinking about anyting to take my mind off death

But the thought remains how tonight I will take my last breath



No matter how big the room is the walls seem to cave

Only when im in my room I escape my shallow grave

My eyes see no vision but my mind sees so clear

Now on my death bed I no longer live in fear



Dont tell me im being dramatic or exactly how i felt

You were there but ignored me on my last cry for help



Only in death will you realize the true meaning of life

Sudden impact catches you off guard and stabs you like a knife

Harsh words that you know speak of nothing but the truth

The regrets you have are the ones that hold your noose



Make it up in some other way

I dont want to see you today

So dont tell me what to say

I know the price I will pay



Suicide suicide why are you on my side?

I cant ignore you and pretend you arent there

Why must you stalk me convince me to die

Your life already has taken it's share
