Assemblage 23 - Black Day (1988) lyrics

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 it 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 shadowplay 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 can't adjust When their lives re-arrange 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
