I'll be dead by dawn

why won't you let me die, this place of pain and sorrow there's no one to call mine, I don't want to see a tomorrow this needs to end now, I'm letting the monster descend do I even know how, I need to stop playing pretend my thoughts are ablaze, it's filled with a wild flame I'm stuck in an endless maze, in my head all of this pain why should I stay alive, why should I carry on I'm already holding the knife, I'll be gone before long I'll be dead by dawn
