(Suicide Hotline, may I help you?)
Yeah, uh, well I'm 'bout to fuckin' kill myself
(Listen, you don't want to do that, okay? You don't want to do that)
I'm gonna, eh, there's so many fuckin' reasons why
I don't even need to be here anymore (There's no reason)
I'm gonna put a slug in my fuckin' head!
(You don't want to do that, you want to be here on Earth okay?)
Fuck that shit man! I got a gun right now (Put it away)
And I got it right under my chin man, fuck that!
(Take it away from your chin)
I'm gonna fuckin' blow my head all over the ceiling
(No you're not okay?)
Fuck this shit man
(Hey, just talk to me, okay?)

It ain't no point to me wakin' up
Everybody's time I'm takin' up (Noo)
I got nobody, it ain't a shoulder near
I can't stay here and it's colder there (Where?)
I don't want to look back 'cause it's gonna hurt
I slice my wrists and it's gonna squirt (Ooh)
For me, everybody holds a hate
I get backstabbed and everybody holds the stake
It's no roads to take, I'm in a circle drive (Ooh)
Bustin' at myself and I'm tryin' to survive
I'll disappoint you, and I will let you down
And I ain't got many home boys comin' around (No?)
You don't understand, so don't say you do (Oh yes I do)
I swear I'll put a motherfuckin' slug in you (Now now)
I'm the only one, the lonely one
At home alone, loadin' a gun thinkin' why not?

Why not? Why you want to die?
Okay, you have feelings inside your head, okay?
I understand that, feelings lead to depression
When you have depression, you have a lonely void inside of your heart
Okay? And your heart means everything to the world, okay?

I got court comin' up, I stole the truck
I got a bitch pregnant and I'm broke as fuck
I want to get high but I got piss test (Well)
I'm always first name on top of the shit list (No)
Get this, the Witch has made my chest
It's permanent nightly visiting nest (What?)
It ain't no clothes that I look good in
I'm the motherfuckin' big red train that couldn't
I got no family, I stole they shit (Okay)
Restraining orders and I still won't quit
I hit rock bottom, and then I fell in a hole
And then I fell through the floor of that hole some more
I been missing for a year, nobody's lookin' (I am)
I got beat down and my shit tookin' (Ooh)
I look ahead and all I see is more of the same
Or this self inflicted bullet hole pourin' my brain

Okay, I understand that you're in pain, okay?
I understand everything you're going through
I've been there myself, okay?
Now, your pain is my pain, alright?
And I feel your pain, and I want to be your friend
Just me and you, friends

I dream about cuttin' heads off with a shovel (What?)
The dreams are gettin' serious, think I'm in trouble (Oh my)
I don't hold memory for more than an hour
I'm tired as fuck and I'm drained of power
I ain't half way there and I'm all outta time
I'm like a crushed light bulb, all outta shine (Oh no)
I been around the world but no place is home
I want to see the other side when I face this chrome
I'm butt naked, I been jackin' off gettin' drunk
It's my last hours alive, who gives a fuck? (Me)
It don't matter, I'm doin' the shit in the garage
Tryin' to make it easier for them to clean my head splaage
This bitch I loved, I hope she finds me
Still up in the chair with my thoughts behind me (Wait, wait)
I'm 'bout to do it
Can you hold for a second? (Wait a min)

Hello?
(Hey, what's up?)
Where you at?
(Right down the street)
With who?
(My girl Shannon, we were wonderin' if we could stop by)
Well shit, yeah, come on by
(Really?)
Yeah, hey hey hey hey.




(I know, bring some blunts alright)
Alright, bye

It ain't no point to me waking up,
Everybody's time I'm taking up,
I got nobody, it ain't a shoulder near,
I can't stay here & it's colder there,
I don't wanna look back 'cause it's gonna hurt,
I slice my wrist & it's gonna squirt,
For me everybody holds a hate,
I get backstabbed & everybody holds the stake,
It's no roads to take, I'm in a circle drive,
Busting at myself & I'm trying to survive,
I'll disappoint you, & I will let you down,
And I ain't got many home boys coming around,
You don't understand, so don't say you do,
I swear I'll put a motherfucking slug in you,
I'm the only one,
The lonely one,
At home alone loading a gun, thinking "Why not?"

"Why not? Why would you wanna die?
Okay, you have feelings inside your head, okay?
I understand that feelings lead to depression
When you have depression, you have a lonely void inside of your heart, okay?
And your heart means everything to the world, okay?"

I got court coming up, I stole a truck.
I got a bitch pregnant & I'm broke as fuck,
I wanna get high but I got piss test,
I'm always first name on top of the shit list,
Get this, the witch has made my chest
It's permanent nightly visiting nest,
It ain't no clothes that I look good in,
I'm the motherfucking big red train that couldn't,
I got no family, I stole they shit,
Restraining orders & I still won't quit,
I hit rock bottom & then I fell in a hole
And then I fell through the floor of that hole some more,
I been missing for a year, nobody's looking,
I got beat down & my shit tooken,
I look ahead & all I see is more of the same,
Or this self-inflicted bullet hole pouring my brain

"Ooooooookay, I understand that you're in pain, okay?
I understand everything you're going through
I've been there myself, okay?
Now, your pain is my pain,
Alright? And I feel your pain, and I wanna be your friend
Just me and you, friends"

I dream about cutting heads off with a shovel,
The dreams are getting serious, think I'm in trouble,
I don't hold memory for more than an hour,
I'm tired as fuck & I'm drained of power,
I ain't half way there & I'm all out of time,
I'm like a crushed light bulb, all out of shine,
I've been around the world but no place is home,
I wanna see the other side when I face this chrome,
I'm butt naked, I've been jacking off, getting drunk,
It's my last hours alive, who gives a fuck?
It don't matter,
I'm doing the shit in the garage,
Trying to make it easier for them to clean my head splaage,
This bitch I loved, I hope she finds me,
Still up in the chair with my thoughts behind me
I'm about to do it,
[Beep]
Can you hold for a second?

The ending seems to have a double-meaning. Either he wants them to find him dead, or he's actually just done a complete 180ยฐ. I thought the latter first time listening and I absolutely drowned in laughter:-D
