Death Comes In Strange Ways, Even By Light

E - Everyone

In Lyrics

I have scars where I only see,

And I've grown skinnier each week

I'm getting worse,

And I'm not sure how much longer I can go...

I've become a pro at lying,

saying "I'm fine",

Then I'll go home crying,

I just don't know what to do.

-

Come hold me,

say that you'll love me,

even at the end,

Just make me feel like I don't want to die tonight...

-

I see a therapist each week,

Mentally unstable,

yeah that's me,

just let that sink in...

I'm not perfect,

I'm only human,

I bleed,

And I feel like my heart's been stabbed repeatedly.

-

So, Come hold me,

Say that you'll love me,

even at the end.

Just make me feel like I don't want to die tonight...

-

Now I think I've had enough,

I can't go on this way,

broken, hopeless, and afraid...

-

But then you held me,

you said that you'll love me

even at the end...

-

As you hold me,

you love me,

even at the end.

And now I don't feel, like I wanna die tonight.

Hey Lylas! Strange here and I have a review for you!
I have a different take on these lyrics than others, because I have a weird mindset, but it doesn't stop me from saying that I like it.
I feel like the narrator needs attention to herself. She needs attention, as she is mentally unstable. Without someone there for her, she is going to go crazy. I guess, the narrator is lonely. With someone there, she feels safe. Now, if this wasn't lyrics and if someone actually said this, I would complain. I would say something like "You don't have a mental problem" and that bull crap. If, for some reason, these lyrics were bad, I would say something like that, but this hits home with the reader along the lines of "We all need someone in our life". I like how you generally address, and I enjoyed reading this poem.
Overall, pretty good job.
Strange gives you...
7.9/10
Good job
Keep writing
Stay groovy, my friend

You've clearly nailed it.

Instead of writing a review I thought, uh... why not do a little mastering and mixing, some noise removal to the audio and add some reverb to the voice.

Your audio was probably recorded on a simple mic, so this is the best filtering that I could do -
