SUICIDE
The Color Morale feat. Dave Stephens Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So much heart
So much time but not enough
Self-inflicted pain can come
and remain in the fear inside of all of us
Desperately and endlessly
Trying to find a means to some kind of peace

Though we can't learn when things come easy

Now that we are prepared for war
We have an effective means to preserving peace for each and everyone
The chances of you even being born
Were forty million to one
There's two parts of the statistic
And I want you to live

Suicide doesn't end the pain
It passes to the ones you love and remains
Take yourself out of the equation
And the problem stays

When I speak such a word
Are you uneasy with how it's heard?
The stigma will never leave
Unless all of us can just start talking
The only people I know
Resting in peace without fear or anxiety are the deceased
That's why they say "may the dead rest in peace."

The things we feel we could never change
Can end up changing everything

Now that we are prepared for war
We have an effective means to preserving peace for each and everyone
The chances of you even being born
Were forty million to one
There's two parts of the statistic
And I want you to live through one

Sometimes to win a battle inside
You need to start a war
Sometimes to win a battle inside
You need to start a war

Now that we are prepared for war
We have an effective means to preserving peace for each and everyone
The chances of you even being born
Were forty million to one. There's two parts of the statistic
And I want you to live through one





I want you to live through one, I want you to live through one

I will never be thankful enough towards all of those guys. Being in this video clip, my favorite band's video clip means a lot to me. Even more because I'm with my two sisters and one of my closest friend ever. Thank you, thank you all so much.
1:30 its our moment of glory haha!

That girl being hugged at the very end? She was hugged because Garret saw her scars and he told her that she was beautiful and hurting herself wouldn't solve any problems. He struggled with self harm and depression too, and seeing her scars broke his heart. Now, a year later, she's healthy and her scars are healing. Go follow her on Instagram @sleeypyfawns.
