This is a song that means an awful lot to me. The message is that despite moving on from hard times with mental illness and feeling better doesn't change the fact that sometimes things get the better of you and you just want to give in and end it all. But it also ends on a nicer note and generally has a nice tone to show that it isn't a nasty horrible thing to feel this way but actually very natural. Let me know what you think.

I'm waking up, the sun it shines,
The grass is green and, the world is mine,
But the razor blade looks nicer than the day before,

I take a drink, I have a smoke,
I am so lonely, and I'm fucking broke,
And nothing seems to change from the dusk til dawn,

A nervous guest, that never leaves,
Now I can't think no, I cannot breathe,
Oh what a beautiful day to die,

They tell me son, don't hurt yourself,
You hurt me first though, my mental health,
Oh what a beautiful day to die,

I'll take a pill, I'll use a rope,
I'll wrap my own hands, around my throat,
Oh what a beautiful day to die,

And will you miss me I guess I'd never know,

But I live on, there's more to tell,
I'll write a new song, and I'll write it well,
But oh what a beautiful day to die,
Oh what a beautiful day to die.

@CFCity Wow, this is certainly dark, daring and brave material. I think the lyrics really do an excellent job of painting a picture of someone struggling with the burdens of existence and I'd glad it ends on more positive note. Musically, you have a very fine voice, filled with emotion and the simple arrangement really enhances the overall effect. Excellent piece of work, well done

Love it, big fan of anything stripped back and raw.
Nice theme and harmonies too good stuff.
I'll have a listen to some more of your tunes.

Thanks

Hi, nice song, you sing it well and the harmonies are just right. A dark subject that is hard to pull off successfully and you did a pretty good job.

Cheers

I loved the lyrics in this yes it's a dark subject but I'm fine with that! I really like the stripped back vibe sometimes less is more..... Enjoyed it. You've got a good voice... And like others have said definitely tight harmonies there. Nice work!

lovely little song
bluesly
economic and concise

I think it'd fit anywhere on an album

good stuff
It's either this or that, then again it might be the other. 

I can promise you a future of slow decline.

And there you have it.
