Suicide Street

Just as we were on the verge of sharing everlasting happiness and perpetual bliss

You practically placed the shiny silver pill on my trembling tongue as we shared one last kiss

At one time we were so close...now we have drifted miles apart

I'll drive on the quickest road to redemption and crash my car straight into your tainted heart

We were too deaf to hear, too blind to see

I was so attached to you, but you wanted nothing to do with me

I woke up this morning with a note from you besides my bed

I went to bed tonight with a gun to the side of my head



I found an abandoned building for sale on the corner of the Heartbreak Highway and Suicide Street

I'll be calling that my new home until our unpredictable paths once again extemporaneously meet



Your acts of deceit have made me feel so abdicable and incomplete

If you thought of this as only a game, then I'll admit defeat, for I have embarrassingly been beat

I remember the days where we were so inseparable, now you seem so far away

I loved looking into your bright blue eyes, now all I see are the darkest shades of black and gray

We were too speechless to speak, too silent to scream

You were living in a nightmare; I was living in a dream

I read your goodbye letter this morning and painfully witnessed the stitches of our relationship sadisticly start to sever

I wrote you a farewell letter of my own tonight...expect when I leave, I'll be gone from this cruel world forever



I'm screaming at the top of my lungs at the intersection of Razorblade Boulevard and Arsenic Avenue

Unless you come and save me from myself, I will be imprisoned here until my death is due



There's nothing left to do but bleed to you on white lined paper; my mannequin muse I will call upon

I'll speed through all the red lights and ignore all the stops signs, but I still won't be able to move on

You used to tell me you loved me, now we are at a bitter war

Oh how I wish things were back to the way they were before; everyday you're gone I miss you more and more

We were too weak to hold on, too scared to let go

I wanted this to never end; you suddenly stopped the show

I kissed your face and said "hello" this morning, then in my head it started to perpetually rain

You kissed my future "goodbye" tonight, never to see your pretty face again



I'm lost in our land of lust and lies somewhere near Cyanide Street and the switchblade in my hand

In order to survive, I need you back by my side, or else I'll drown in my own toxic tears and sink in the quixotic quicksand



We had so much potential, but you never gave our pseudo romance even the slightest chance

Barely able to survive anymore, I've taken up residence in the back of a bloodstained ambulance

You used to say you'd be with me forever...today forever came to an end

I want to be your soul mate; you don't even want to be my friend

We were too dead to live, too alive to die

I did and still do love you; you were living in a lie

I saw you this morning, and with clear skies and smiles on your face, everything seemed to be the same

You left me tonight in a dark and depressing place where the streets sings have been erased and now have no name



I'm crawling in our opaque omega someplace between the end of the world and our last "goodbye"

If you don't help me find my way back home, then my future will be shattered and red tears will forever flow from my arid eye



I woke up this morning traveling on a perpetual parkway with my one true friend

I went to sleep tonight wondering why our path came to a sudden dead end



...I'm pretty sure that's your silhouette on the other side of the horizon, even though my vision is blurry from the rainstorms in my head and the unremitting gray sky

We run toward each other with open arms, but we both foolishly fail to realize that once we cross Suicide Street we'll both pull the tragic trigger and our dreams will die...
