Long Island...
In my dreams
You're still alive
When I'm awake
I kind of want to die
So it seems
There's still a chance for me
But I
I think I made a mistake
We give and we take
That's just how it is
So easy to fake
It's not easy to live with it
I'm so fucking serious
I think I'm starting to break
I've been feeling so lost and lonely
I'm losing my grip, yeah
I'm ready to slip
And now I'm falling
Ever so slowly
It's a long way down
On my knees
I curse the sky
Screaming "take me instead
This isn't how it should end"
I've been feeling so lost and lonely
I'm losing my grip, yeah
I'm ready to slip
And now I'm falling
Ever so slowly
It's a long way down
Now I bleed
At least I'll try
Just one of the ways
I know that I'm alive
And that means
There's something left of me
Inside
I think I made a
I think I made a
I think I made a mistake
I've been feeling so
So close to letting go
I'm losing my grip, yeah
I'm done with this shit
And now I'm falling
Ever so slowly
It's a long way down
It's a long way down
