  • Welcome to this life
    Born into the fight
    Here to claim your dream
    Look you in the eye
    Patch the broken sky
    Craving dopamine
    Then my voice appears
    Teaching you of fears
    Are you good enough?
    You don't recognize
    Head is full of lies
    You should just give up

    Listen well, better listen well
    Listen well, better listen well

    Don't ever speak my name
    Remember you're to blame
    Keep me inside
    Keep me inside
    My name is suicide

    Curse another day
    Spirit locked away
    Punish and deprive
    Hate to be awake
    Living a mistake
    More dead than alive
    Then a voice appears
    Whisper in your ears
    "You are good enough"
    Throwing down a rope
    A lifeline of hope
    Never give you up

    Listen well, better listen well
    Listen well, better listen well

    Don't ever speak my name
    Remember you're to blame
    Keep me inside
    Keep me inside
    My name is suicide

    Terrified in sleepless nights
    Caught in spotlight dead to rights
    Isolate and fight your mind
    Telling you you're left behind

    My lying voice inside
    Keeps drinking cyanide
    And no more can you run
    Into the sun

    Terrified, sleepless nights
    Caught in spotlight dead to rights
    Isolate and fight your mind
    Telling you you're left behind

    And now you speak my name
    You've given back the blame
    Keep me deep inside
    Don't you keep me inside
    Screaming suicide

    Now that I'm exposed inside
    Shined a light on cyanide
    I'm no longer needed here
    Now you've faced your biggest fear Writer/s: James Alan Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Robert Trujillo
