I feel I need to explain this song a little as the subject and lyrics are very dark.
This song is true story.
Its something that happened to me many years ago.
I forget the year.
I was walking to get a mic stand from my van and the Dark Dave in my head told me to throw myself into the road infront of a car.
I didn't. Something stopped me from obeying but the urge was there.
I was, at the time having a really hard time with my mental health and I just wanted to escape myself and didn't really care how.
But. Some unknown force stopped me.
I never made it to the mic stand.
I went back into my home and had a break down in front of my sister and Mum.
I remember just screaming
"I feel like I want to die".
I just sat there hugging my white strat talking to my Sister and Mum in tears for the next hour or so.
This song is all about that and how I felt at the time.

Lyrics -

Well I was walking
Just me and I
And I heard myself say
Go into the road and die
I heard myself say
Go into the road and die
But something else it stopped it
And now all I can do is cry

All thats in my mind
Is how this should end
I've been walking around bumping into dead ends
I've got no hold on myself
You know I've got no hold on myself
All alI can do is lay down
Lay down and play dead

What am I doing
Why can't I see
Whats stopping me from killing me
I wanna go
You know I wanna go
I wanna stop the world and get off
I wanna go alone
