Before Dishonor
Lobotomies and therapy Wish away the pain. Destroy friends and family For imaginary gain. Doubt the informant, trust paranoia, Nero's tyrannical reign. There will never be remission Endless insults from superstition. Hold me now, my loving father? Suicide before dishonor.
Conformity and deformity Say your bedtime prayers. Stitch your lips and make a wish Because no one really cares. My whole existence is resistance As I'm dragged into the Devil's Lair. Has the verdict been in favor? Stop before you wake the neighbors. Fearing now that it's a goner, Suicide before dishonor.
Razor blades and band-aids Open up with loving arms. Even if it is self-harm, You could be loved again.
