Keepin' Me In Check

from Short Comings by Rusty Joe

/

about

Yes, I did contemplate suicide once in my life, it was dumb, but it was real. Luckily I have friends that care about me and helped me through depression. I made this song very upbeat and with dark lyrics to kind of show you that even though I was a wreck inside you wouldn't have known because of my personality. This song is not done, there is more to this song, but I'll record the full version when I get some studio time.

lyrics

I used to think that suicide's a tragedy, and then I picked up the knife in front of me. No, I don't think that this world would think of me, I'd rather leave and forget about my misery.

Grabbed the pills that guaranteed the death of me, I slit my wrist to prove that nothing hurts me. I wrote a note that said this is the end of me, I tore it up to keep my death a mystery.

It's sad to say that everything bothers me, sad to think that nobody likes me, sad to know just who it is I'm thinking of.

Then I thought of all the things that kept me free, like my best friend who always calls me up at 3(am), and how quiet this town of mine would be, I look up now and smile about everything.

Good to know that some people like me, good to know that I've got all the things I need, good to know that I won't need to kill me
