lyrics

Suicide

Did you ever realise you only have to say a thing to hurt somebody?
Did you every realise that when you take away a thing
you hurt someone too?
Maybe if you'd open up your eyes
you'd see that everybody's worth something
Maybe if you weren't so quick to criticise you'd see yourself in you
and follow through

Have you ever wanted to commit suicide
suicide?
Have you ever felt the grip inside?
Have you ever wanted to commit suicide
suicide?
Have you ever felt the grip inside
of suicide?

There were times when I have felt so dead inside
I thought that I should stay that way
There were voices inside my head
I thought that they were never going to leave
I read a book
I saw a film
I took a drink
and then I finally told somebody
They didn't understand but when I cried they knew exactly what to do
They saw me through

Have you ever wanted to commit suicide
suicide?
Have you ever felt the grip inside?
Have you ever wanted to commit
Do you ever dream of it?
Have you ever felt the grip inside
of suicide?

("March of the ill at ease children")

And it's the man in me
Not the boy in me
that's scared to be alone
I'm scared to be alone
And it's the man in me
Not the boy in me
that's scared to take you home
I'm scared to take you home
Cuz when I turn out the light
I'm laughing or crying
When I kiss you goodnight
I'm falling or flying
When I cling to you tight
I fade away
Hey hey

Did you?
Did you?
Did you?
Well did you?
Maybe if you weren't so quick to criticise you'd see yourself in you

Have you ever wanted to commit suicide
suicide?
Have you ever felt the grip inside?
Have you ever wanted to commit suicide
suicide?
Have you ever felt the grip inside?
Have you ever wanted to commit suicide
suicide?
Have you ever felt the grip inside?
Have you ever wanted to commit
Do you ever dream of it?
Have you ever felt the grip inside
of suicide?

Mamma don't go
Daddy come home
