Assemblage 23 Black Day
Trapped in a room all by yourself
See how it feels to have no one else
Feelings of bitterness, feelings of hate
Slowly take root deep inside your brain
There is no reason for feeling this way
Yet these emotions grow stronger each day
Wish you would stop, wish for an escape
From the things that left you bloodied, exhausted, and raped
What a sad day
What a sad day in your life
What a black day
Just when it all started going right
Which way to turn, which way to run
Alcohol, pills, razors, and guns
Nothing gets better, it only gets worse
In the shadow plane there's no time to rehearse
I've got to get help you think to yourself
Before I hurt someone, before I hurt myself
But no one will listen to your voice on the phone
They say they've all got problems of their own
What a sad day
What a sad day in your life
What a black day
Just when it all started going right
One rainy night you took your life
By stabbing yourself in the heart with a knife
It took a long time but when you were through
The people who wouldn't help you felt sorry for you
It just goes to show you people are strange
Some just can't adjust when their lives rearrange
But now that you're dead you can't come back
And from now on every day will be black
What a sad day
What a sad day in your life
What a black day
Just when it all started going right
