"I Was A Happy Kid Once" lyrics

"I Was A Happy Kid Once"

Save me

All my hope is dead
I tried to see it all but all I see is red
Fuck what I said
My mind played tricks to prove me wrong
Set me free
Cause I am lost in the trenches
Misery
Cause this pain is endless
And now I'm reaching out to you

So who can come and can save me now
Standing on the edge now
Standing on the edge
So who can come and drag me out
I'm standing on the edge now
Standing on the edge

Barrel to my head
My finger cannot wait to pull the fucking trigger
But I am holding back for now
As I try to remember
I was a happy kid once!
With a heart of gold
Now stare into the abyss
It stares back to me with a glaze so cold
Darkness has a claim on me
A night in December
When it made me bleed black
I had to surrender

So who can come and can save me now
Standing on the edge now
Standing on the edge
So who can come and drag me out
I'm standing on the edge now
Standing on the edge

Standing on the edge

Cause my life is a living hell
And I'm looking down that cliff right now
Wish I could say something different
But I see no way out
Cause I'd die for something real
But I cannot feel reality
Make me feel
Save me from myself!

Take me
Help me
Save me
Save me from myself

Save me
Save me from myself

Save me
