heart-shaped box

and I'm staring down the barrel of a-45 swimming through the ashes of another life.

Lay me down this time Drown my will to fly Here in the darkness, I know myself Can't break free until I let it go Let me go

Lithium, don't wanna lock me up inside Lithium, don't wanna forget how it feels without Lithium, I wanna stay in love with my sorrow but God, I wanna let it go

Cause we all live under the same sky We all look up at the same stars, yeah Then why, why can't we live as one?

I saw the morning, it was shattered by a gun Heard a scream, saw him fall, no one cried I saw a mother, she was praying for her son Bring him back, let him live, don't let him die
