During the moment I was killing myself

My mom looked at the inside of her purse on her belt

Smiled with her eyes, tracing back her youth

And said to herself, "Now I can buy your favorite food."

The moment the rope was attached to the ceiling

My father must be outside, hanging out with his friends, thinking

With the soundtrack in his mind silently playing

"Ah, he would've love this beat, he's obsessed with dancing."

The moment my eyes have set upon the chair, measuring my height to reach the circle

My friends were out there, stopping on their track, reading an article

"Depression is not a joke, but most people find it funny to use the word more often than we should."

Said my friend, "Oh yes, remember him? I wonder if he's ready to face us now, and let us in to carry what he hold."

The moment I was killing myself, dying inside from being still sane

My hands dropped from any sign of life, while it rains

Someone got his umbrella, rummage through the dark alley with fear

But he said, "I wonder where he is, he also hates thunder, hope he's just near."

The moment I was killing myself

I forgot who I am really, forgot that there's help

But somehow, with the last seven minutes of my mind

It was full of memories that I cherish, I forgot that I'd die
