Will you take my life in one breath
Will you subside into witnessing my death
Because when whats gone is gone
and whats left is left
will you keep in mind
my selfish death
will you remember the times that we had together
will you keep these in mind forever
will you mourn the loss of a loved one
or will you celebrate the loss of a hated one
will you even shed a tear when my life is done
do you remember all the times we had when we were young
I was such a care-free and happy one
But that was just on the outside
all the while I was being tortured on the inside
and the only way to be happy
the only way to be finally free
is to take my life with my own hand
to finally leave this corrupted land
and on the next day
the sun will be shining away
totally oblivious to my deed
while so many men will pay no heed
In the fields the dandelions will still dance
while the deer still prance
And a new day will shine
there will be no sorrow or moral
because the life lost was mine
A kid of only fifteen years old
and my life is thrown into the wind like dust
and is lost with barly even a gust.

    This song is the biggest ryhming cliche of depressive lyrics I have ever read in my life. I don't know how I ended up reading these, but I sure do hope the music end is a hell of a lot better.

Magical

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
