Late Teen Crisis

Written by- Christopher Murphy

I don’t want to stay here anymore,

It’s just too much

She knows now how I feel,

It’s time I got out of touch

Death would be the easy way out,

But hey no big loss

I hate life as it is,

I’d end it but at what cost

So sweet dagger,

Claim my life

I sick and tired of,

all this strife

What does it matter,

If I’m gone

I could care less,

It’s cause of you I carry on

I’m having a late teen crisis,

And there’s nothing I can do

I’m having a late teen crisis,

It came about when I met you

I wish I could solve this,

With a simple melody

I’m having late teen crisis,

No one can help me

I’m a lost cause,

No longer should you care

What you truly think of me,

Is visible through your stares

Miserable doesn’t describe,

Anywhere near what I am

I see no point,

To keep living this sham

I’m having a late teen crisis,

And there’s nothing I can do

I’m having a late teen crisis,

It came about when I met you

I wish I could solve this,

With a simple melody

I’m having late teen crisis,

No one can help me

How can people stay positive,

In a world filled with doubt.

I guess ignorance is bliss,

I wish I could just get out

Optimism is lost to me,

All that’s left is negativity

Give me a reason to stick around,

Or I’ll be buried underground

I envy the dead,

Their problems are done

Mine are just beginning,

I have nowhere I can run

If others will care,

That I am gone

Why do they matter,

I don’t have to go on

I’m having a late teen crisis,

And there’s nothing I can do

I’m having a late teen crisis,

It came about when I met you

I wish I could solve this,

With a simple melody

I’m having late teen crisis,

No one can help me

Fighting to survive,

For a tomorrow that stay the same

None of you will understand,

It is useless to detain

The evitable will come,

Though you may sit and veg

But this late teen crisis

Has brought me to the edge
