A Healthy Alternative for Better Living - Extract

The cicadas scream outside my bedroom and never let me sleep
And in the noise I hear your name and wonder if they sing for me
All the books upon my shelf remind me of the words I smelt
So I can craft this blade of hopelessness and carve them on myself

So hold on I'm almost there
And I swear the pain is fleeting
All that I need is a little more time
If you can't give me that I'll lay down and die so
Hold me down or I will drown myself in all of these feelings
Don't let me go 'til I've made up my mind
I know you aren't the one that made desire subside

Will you hear my song as I come undone and confess my sins on stage
And will the sentiment of all of this will it convince you to stay
And when you leave will you breathe easier knowing you won't be disturbed
And I will wait here for you patiently though I know you won't return

So hold on I'm almost there
And I swear the pain is fleeting (Will you breathe easier now?)
All that I need is a little more time
(Cause I hear your name and wonder)
If you can't give me that I'll lay down and die so
Hold me down or I will drown myself in all of these feelings
(Will you breathe easier now? Cause I hear your name)
Don't let me go 'til I've made up my mind
I know you aren't the one that made desire subside
