Turn Everything Off (We lose in darkness.)

Contributed by ForeverAndADay on Saturday, 12th March 2005 @ 07:30:49 PM in AEST
Topic: Suicide



Turn Everything Off.
Every Light switch.
Over time is over.
And everyone is getting very sick of this.

Turn off the mind, it's been going anyway.
Turn off her fingers, their tightening and writhing.
Turn off her toes, balerina's feet they were.
Turn it all off, there will be no other day.

Turn off her legs, though muscular they had been.
Turn off her arms, champions arms they could have been.
Turn off her lips, so she may not speak another word.
Turn off everything, the cost is high and we cant afford.

Turn off these ears, so she may not here their words.
Turn off her eye's now she is bathed in dark.
Turn off her sense of smell, she hates smelling things that burn.
Don't forget anything, lastly we can turn off her heart.

It just got to be too much, and we all knew things could not improve.
Sometimes the hardest things in life is to stay alive.
This winner she was, has finally decided she's ready to lose.
And turned everything off inside...
(Suicide.)
(Suicide)
