If I die alone
With no one's hands to hold
It's 'cause no one ever told me
That the bottom was so cold
...
Save me from this nightmare that is my life
Save me from everything around me
That feels like it is closing in
That suffocates me with endless darkness
...
Shutting out this falling Earth
Rolling by on a paper hearse
Held aloft by hopes and dreams
Not as stable as it seems
...
If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
There's nothing left to take away
Empty sorrow fills every day
...
Short, Not So Sweet
My battlefield is the street
In this endless war I rage
And everyone I meet
Is in their own little cage
