STAY ON THE LINE

suicide hot line at your service

why should I live, what's the purpose?

to see the stars, to infinity and back

blinded by shame, sunlight is black

i've been there before, your problems are mine

you’re full of shit, I'm wasting my time

i've had despair, i've been like you

you'll never understand my point of view

talk to me, you've got nothing to lose

death is an option, it's all that I choose

you're correct my friend, it’s the final escape

you'll never get it, unless you've been raped

it's not the why but the pain that we share

i can't take it, it's too much to bear

secrets are cancer, a life of their own

i've heard this before, I'll do it alone

no don't go, please stay on the line

i live in a place where the sun doesn’t shine

is it full but empty, are you smothered but alone?

it sounds like you've been there, it's cold to the bone

take my hand, and leave death below

it's much too familiar, I'm afraid to let go

sadness is comfort, it's all that you know

do you think I like this, the answer is no

i've been there and back believe it or not

leave me alone I'd rather stay here and rot

just a minute my friend I believe you phoned me

i am looking for hope I'm on bended knee

attempt just one step what's there to lose?

i can't live, I can't die, I can't move, I can't choose

what's your secret, what's there to dread

don't push me like that, I've got a gun to my head

please, I'm begging you, don't pull the trigger

if you only knew you'd call the grave digger

i'll tell you my secret, if you tell me yours

mine's too disgusting, it seeps out my pores

two years ago I was raped by a man

i'm sorry to hear that, i understand

i was married and pregnant and two weeks past due

it happens too often, even to you

my husband left me and my child died

but you made it this far, you more than survived

he disfigured my face, he ruined my life

did he have a red mask and a pearl hunting knife?

how did you know the details like that?

was he short and strong and smelled like a rat?

a serial rapist and sadistic too

i know all the details I know about you

my God you're the one, I could take your life

a sexy blond, you could have been my wife

someday you will rot in a prison somewhere

i recall the night, your body so bare

I could climb through the phone and cut your heart out

i would have killed you that night if you had decided to shout

you have no remorse a despicable act

i would do it again if I could turn time back

there's a reward for you alive or dead

i'll never be caught that's what has been said

your fatal flaw was to stay on this phone

it could happen again if you're out and alone

i can hear it from here, there's a knock on your door

you traced the call, you mangy whore

bang bang, Mister Rapist, you're poisoned by lead

officer Jones here, it's over he's dead
