Erik Jurado - What Happened, Son? lyrics

Sweet Relief... Cold steel in my hand. Sweet relief inside the chamber. Will I have the courage to send myself to some other land? As I lie all alone I wonder... Life is not going the way I planned - I'm finding it hard to cope. Everybody's tell me it's temporary - There's no hope. I wish that I could share the burden that lies deep within that I long for a place warm without a care. A place where I can fit in. Tears would pour out of my eyes If I tried to explain Don't blame yourself though, That time never came. I am loved and will be missed I know this to be true I just can't stop myself What am I to do? This life is strange and difficult On the other side it's easy – it's gotta be easy, Easier than this. I want release from the unrelenting pain I feel. This has to be done as soon as possible. So my cherished loved ones The clock strikes three It's time for me to soar Goodbye. Kyle, you will be forever 19 in the hearts and minds of your parents your family, and all of your friends Goodbye. "My beautiful son, age 19, committed suicide 11/22/08. I'm posting his suicide note & other notes in the hopes this may help someone else. If you're in the depths of despair, please tell someone, ANYONE. There is help! 1-800-SUICIDE." - April Kubachka
