Ascend

This is a kill yourself list
Hit your head with your fist
Take razors to your wrists
And drink rum till you’re so pissed

You place the barrel of a gun
Under your tongue and place your thumb
Upon the trigger but I figure
That you’re bigger than a river

Of your blood and of your brains
And of the cutting of your veins
To ease the sharpest of your pains
Some facts remain so clearly plain

It’s not your friend when thoughts within
Turn into triggers to break skin
You’re not a loser, you can win
Rise over pain and just ascend
