"All my heroes are dead, 'cause every hero I've met's a disappointment /
But I've got this mic, and I've got this voice, so I guess this is the ointment /
But this is pointless, a waste of money-making time /
I've been at it how long, and still they pay no mind? /
And I say those lines with tear-stained cheeks, pardon my composure /
Or lack thereof, I attack, there's blood, pardon my exposure /
Darling, it's over, I didn't intend to be alive this long /
Told myself to write an exit plan before I write this song /
Will write no wrongs, and I'll give no apologies /
Life is a hollow seed, I will bear no fruit, and that's a gift probably /
'cause I can't even do for self, how selfish would I be to breed /
When I refuse to outlive my twenties? hence the urgency /
Purposely put myself in situations meant to end me /
Made friends with seamstresses, but even they can't mend me /
I'd amend these bars to spare you if I felt any hope /
Penned these words with a well-worn pencil, but remembered plenty rope"
