It's gripping me
From underneath
Within me
New feelings
Have emerged
To make me realize
That I love life
No one can take that away
From me in spite
Of my past hate for it
No one can take that away
Only I can take that away

I realized tonight
That I love life
I don't know why
It's only right
That I accept this
In my own time
I was brought down by strife
And therefor hated life

Emotions can control
With a suffocating hold
You can feel bliss and more
Or fall to never reached depths before
If I would have known this sooner
I would have remembered
That no amount of strife
Can lessen my love of life
Unless I let it

I cannot commit suicide
I know where my heart lies
Embedded with this love of life
The persistence to fight strife
Till I'm meant to die

I reached the depths of suicide
Only to burn and rise

Depths of Suicide

Depths of Suicide

It's gripping me
From underneath
Within me
New feelings
Have emerged
To make me realize
That I love life
No one can take that away
From me in spite
Of my past hate for it
No one can take that away
Only I can take that away

I realized tonight
That I love life
I don't know why
It's only right
That I accept this
In my own time
I was brought down by strife
And therefor hated life

Emotions can control
With a suffocating hold
You can feel bliss and more
Or fall to never reached depths before
If I would have known this sooner
I would have remembered
That no amount of strife
Can lessen my love of life
Unless I let it

I cannot commit suicide
I know where my heart lies
Embedded with this love of life
The persistence to fight strife
Till I'm meant to die

I reached the depths of suicide
Only to burn and rise
