I Wanna Throw Myself Away

I wanna throw myself away

Away from this pain

Away from these liars, hypocritical fakes

I wanna be my own individual

Since I can’t, I’ll throw myself away

I’ll follow their path, listen to their taunts

Go down a road filled with their rules

Not my own

I’ll throw myself away, into an abyss

Darkness enfolding, well I’m still smiling

I’ll become an angel, well inside I’m a devil

Because it’s what they want of me

I’ll throw myself away into a small little hole

Try to find love, in a place where it’s not allowed

Try to find freedom, though chains hold me down

Try to be happy, although I’m in simple misery

Maybe I could die... throw myself away

I’m loved by many, but refuse it

I’m told I’m beautiful, but deny it

I’m nothing but garbage so now I must

Throw myself away

…Your my family, my friends, can’t you see

These tears are one’s of longing, not dramatized fear

This scream is not one of anger, but hate …

Of you, this life and what you’ve taken from me

What is the point of trying to reason, I will just throw myself away
