Paint yourself in black and white
Trot along all through the night
You say you've got a thirst for blood
But I don't think you'll make the cut
See those tears running down your face
You don't think you're in the right place
But soon enough you'll come to find
You're in a ridiculous state of mind
Silence your cries
Lift off the pressure
And live the whole day through
If you want to die
It'd be my pleasure
To make your dreams come true
"Roses are red, violets are blue
My heart is black and my soul is too"
Well wise up son, and step outside
And let the sun fill up your eyes
The longer you're in isolation
And waiting for self-destruction
Is time that could be spent on things
To help the world all its beings
Silence your cries
Lift off the pressure
And live the whole day through
If you want to die
It'd be my pleasure
To make your dreams come true
Yeah, so stop with the act
I've had enough of it
I don't believe it's true
If you want to die
I'd really love it
If I could assist you
