Nicole Gehrman - Chicken

They are all right.
Why can't i just do it?
Slice away the pain.
Watch all my worries flow away
like watching the blood run down my fingers.

I just seen to do it.
I get so close to it.
I really want to do it.
I get halfway, but can't seem to do it.

All i want is to be able to numb the pain.
The pain i feel every damn day of my life.
Wanting to take my last breath
so i dont have to suffer the pain that it holds.
I just want it to be quick,
To get it over with.
But y am i so chicken to want something so great?
