Death In The Family
Verse 1:
 
 There's been a death in the family
 The firstborn out of 3
 He looks in the mirror and what he sees
 Is a kid on the wrong and doesn't know what to believe
 And at home is the last place he wants to be
 So he runs away just to smoke some weed
 But when he gets back, he regrets his decision to leave
 Cuz the sight of his mom crying, stings his soul constantly
 So he turns to a blade and cuts in deep
 And he likes to watch it bleed
 Cuz it takes away the pain he feels emotionally
 So he just keeps cutting cuz the relief is oh so brief
 Otherwise he gets so depressed he just wont eat
 And a good memory is impossible to retrieve
 Thanks to his new personality
 He's made up his mind, at midnight this earth he'll leave
 And finally his soul will be freed
 He's fled, eternally
 
 Hook:
 
 There's been a death in the family
 The son whose f****d up mentally
 He needed to be at peace
 So he freed his soul intentionally
 
 Verse 2:
 
 I'm dead, gone, and buried
 Sick of the f***** life I carried
 Cuz to drugs I was married
 And nothing else mattered
 And one night, I realized my dreams were shattered
 So instead of getting high, my brains got splattered
 My parents awoke because of the clatter
 The sight of their son dead was too much to comprehend
 Now it's a cut on their souls that will never mend
 I hope they feel responsible in a way
 But really, no one could've prevented what happened that day
 My funeral, it's a sad one
 And alot of ppl came, that shouldn't have come
 And when asked about me, they just felt dumb
 Cuz they didn't know the real me
 Or about my struggles I was dealing with constantly
 The only people attending should be:
 My girlfriend, close friends, and family
 Cuz they knew who I was internally
 They are the ones that will truly miss me eternally
 And now they all feel my pain
 Cuz the earth is no longer my domain
 And my lifeless body is all that remains
 
 (HOOK)
 
 Verse 3:
 
 I woke up, sweating in my bed
 Just had a dream that I was dead
 Cuz I put a bullet in my own head
 But from seeing the amount of tears shed
 I promised to myself, I would never do it
 And when times got tough I would just get through 'em
 And when I feel all alone
 I just gotta remember there's someone ready to listen on the other side of that phone.
 You see life is always worth living, no matter what you're going through.
 And suicide is not something that you wanna do
 Even though it might seem like a good option at the time
 Just think about the consequences in your mind
 What about the person who finds your corpse?
 I guarantee it's gonna make their life worse
 And if your parents are together, could it cause divorce?
 And if your whole family falls apart, could your death be the source?
 And how would your friends react?
 If they heard you ended your life with a gat?
 And if you're dating somebody you love,
 What are they supposed to do when you're watching from above?
 But if none of these reasons got you reconsidering
 I got one more, so keep listening
 My last reason to stay alive:
 Do it for you, and just watch how much you thrive
 You're gonna hit some rough patches on the road
 And when the pressure builds, stand tall and don't fold
 Cuz eventually you'll break out of it
 And you can look back and be proud of how you did
 And that, is a reason to live.
