Coward

He doesn't want to die
Yet he can't go on living
Hasn't got the strength
The power
The courage

They called him names
He tried to shrug it off
They laugh at him
He pretends he doesn't notice
They are killing him
Yet he thinks it's his decision

He doesn't want to die
Yet he can't go on living
Hasn't got the strength
The power
The courage

He isn't really good at anything
Just an ordinary guy
With extraordinary feelings
He knows exactly what's going on
But he can't stop it

He doesn't want to die
Yet he can't go on living
Hasn't got the strength
The power
The courage

He tried to change things
In vain
Can only think of himself
To blame
No self-esteem
Just disappointment
Mental illness
Without ointment

He doesn't want to die
Yet he can't go on living
Hasn't got the strength
The power
The courage

Society deems him ill
He knows he's not
They want to stuff him with pills
He's had enough
Social misfit
Searching for a way out

He doesn't want to die
Yet he can't go on living
Hasn't got the strength
The power
The courage

The future is just a dark mass
Of degeneration
Of negative feeling
Of pain
He knows it
They don't agree

He doesn't want to die
Yet he can't go on living
Hasn't got the strength
The power
The courage

He hides his feelings
Not all of them
Just enough
To not get caught
'Cause they want him
To keep on going
Unknowing of his true feelings

He wants to die
Yet he goes on living
Hasn't got the strength
The power
The courage
The right
