Therapy
R22 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All I have to do, all I have to have
All I have to do, all I have to have
All I have to do
All I have to do, all I have to have
All I have to do, all I have to have
All I have to do, all I have to have
All I have to do is run the razor across my wrist
All I have to have is the will to give up my fucking life
But all that I've had is so many unsuccessful tries
And my God I've tried so many fucking times
I want to put myself out of my misery
Suicide my choice of therapy
I blame you and all you've done to me
You tore out my heart now you can watch me bleed
All this confusion deep inside my head
All this confusion that I do so dread
All this confusion deep inside my head
All this confusion ends when I am dead
How can you tell me to smile?
How can you prevent me from hating me?
After all I've done nothing for myself
Exactly how happy should I be?
In favor of shame, I hold the blame
In favor of shame, losing life's game
In favor of shame, I hold the blame
In favor of shame, losing life's game
Suicide is selfish, it's for the weak and helpless
But it's the only solution? That I see
I may have luck in another life
But there's no hope in this one for me
I'll suffer in hell before I suffer with you
All I have to do, all I have to have
All I have to do, all I have to have
All I have to do, all I have to have
All I have to
I want to put myself out of my misery
Suicide my choice of therapy
I blame you and all you've done to me
You tore out my heart now you can watch me bleed
All this confusion deep inside my head
All this confusion that I do so dread
All this confusion deep inside my head
All this confusion ends when I am dead
