From smokin' roaches to suicide notes
How quickly does death approach?
It's hopeless my friend, I know
It was always with love they wrote
So young, yet so cold
This life really took its toll
Now you're gone and my soul erodes
I wish that I could hold you close
This dark road is everything I've ever known
Since fifteen with big dreams and a heart that came broke out the box
Kicking rocks, I was stoned
I got it on my own and no one ever told me how to grow
So how was I to know?
I tried to carve my veins, forget the pain of my past
And I might be insane, it just depends who you ask
The universe is a mirror, but I've been punching the glass
Broke my fingers halfway through, but I always finish the task
So sorry if I'm bitter, I've lost too many friends
So call me when you realise, it's all a means to an end
From smokin' roaches to suicide notes
How quickly does death approach?
It's hopeless my friend, I know
It was always with love they wrote
So young, yet so cold
This life really took its toll
Now you're gone and my soul erodes
I wish that I could hold you close
I feel I need to apologise
For every time I let a friend down and made 'em think I was gonna die
Maybe I would have been better in a different life
But only tragedy showed me what I was really like
You can hide inside, avoid danger like I have most my life
But I'm a stranger to many I could have shared my heart with
And picked up some memories I wouldn't want to part with
From smokin' roaches to suicide notes
How quickly does death approach?
It's hopeless my friend, I know
It was always with love they wrote
So young, yet so cold
This life really took its toll
Now you're gone and my soul erodes
I wish that I could hold you close
