Mom, I'm going out tonight
Dad, I'll see you soon
I'm going to my friends house
To drool about at the moon
Don't look so bemused
I shall be alright
Don't bother coming to get me
I'm staying there all night

We said hellos, we said goodbyes
We knew our destination
To rid us from insanities
With a suicidal decoration
Drag it from your splintered hand
So fresh and so mundane
The life that swirls through this rope
Around my neck, cold and arcane
Lift me up, atop the branch
Hold my fingertips
The night has shrouded reasoning
Amidst my life’s eclipse

As I jump, atop this branch
To fall, caught by surprise
The rope has tightened, round my neck
And choked emerging cries
Pain has been evicted
From this fading eclipse
I see now, through diverging lies
A life much more than this
The fog shall lift above my eyes
And the lies, above my brow
Release the chains bound 'round my neck
If a broken soul knew how
I fall it seems, the years pass by
And suddenly I tense
My neck has reached the deadly rope
To heart, the thoughts make hence
As if I gained, a second chance
The sunny beams condense
Burn forth this squeezing, plea for death
The noose breaks loose in your defense
I realize myself, cleansed in shame
With sunshine guiding me
Dear sunshine’s, changed my life, tonight
In dark, I confide in thee
And now my life’s much clearer
A crystal broke with shame
Cut loose with a splintered neck
And an ever scarlet stain
The reality that’s fed to me
Is ironic, how it seems
Now I've fallen, from my second chance
Forsaken sunny beams
Why did I make this noose so high
Off this willow trees embrace
Sunshine has cut me loose
Though now I've fallen on my face
The impact lays me helpless
Strewn upon the day
And the sunny grass, choked by the noose
Is home, to my decay
