gone insane

it's been once, twice, three times, four 
and I can't, I can't take this anymore 

the heartbeats were thumping anxiously in my head
then there's the click, infernal silence, and finally the bang
the bullet went straight through my core
dispersing the flesh around it on the floor 
I hit the ground still breathing, still alive 
the smell of dirt forced its way inside 
and I was wheezing, choking on my blood
awaiting the end unbound 
I felt its moist warmth on my skin
then saw it blend into the earth under me
then the sirens were howling 
and the darkness was growing 
growing onto my soul 
and I was dead once more

it's been once, twice, three times, four 
and I can't, I can't take this anymore 

yet I woke up, brand as new
this time, this time too
just to start it all over 
back shot forgotten 
with new hopes, new lies, new promises 
of a love that never even existed 

it's been once, twice, three times,  four 
and I can't, I can't take this anymore 
awoken to be killed once again
it's insane
