Send "Teenage Suicide" Ringtone to Cell

Time's rollin' forward
I'm gettin' bored
Layin' on my back
I'm losin' track
Shifting patterns
And nothin' matters
Cause there's no one here
I've lost my fear

Well I've got no place left to hide
I'm runnin' out of time
Moving slowly
The walls are closing
In on me
I can not see
Appearing fine, well
That's all a lie
Cause I'm not alright

Extinct inside
I'm runnin' out of time
My mother says I'm fine
A teenage suicide
No place to hide
Well I've got no place left to hide
No place to hide
Well I'm runnin' out of time
No place to hide
Ya, I've got no place left to hide
No place to hide
A teenage suicide

    General Comment:WOW. Probably my favorite song by them, now, because I can relate deeply.

    "appearing fine, well
    that's all a lie
    'cause I am not alright
    extinct inside
    I'm runnin' out of time
    my mother says I'm fine"

    A lot of people who seem to use suicide as a threat and plea for attention are the ones who really wouldn't do it...it's the people who barely talk about who would. The people who act fine.

    It's a super sad song about a scary, depressing subject, but I'm so glad they wrote it. It is ironic, that songs like this would make someone feel better, but it helped me.

    General Comment:That's true. Like other people said, sometimes these sort of songs do make you feel better. It's kind of ironic, actually. These lines:
    "appearing fine, well
    that's all a lie
    'cause I am not alright
    extinct inside"
    just so..i dunno..just..it's a good song. I love it.

    General Comment:songs like this usually help me when im depressed. it's weird but if i listen to a happy upbeat song when im depressed it doesn't help at all cuz it doesn't match my mood. so this and adam's song and last resort usually help me.
    this shong also reminds me that im not the only one who's suicidal. it also shows that you can't judge people based on what they seem like.

    General Comment:Well, it was nice to read the insults about suicidal people. It's a frame of mind. When you get enough people telling you that you should die for a long time straight, you kinda take a hint. It messes with your head. I'll never be okay. So, I can really identify with this song. Great song!

    General Comment:i can identify with this song cuz ive been suicidal a few times in my life i dont really understand why i travel the extremes emotionally really happy or really depressed its like when it rains in ur heart and ur brain for wat seems like forever it feels good 2 kno that others experience wat u have it was neva for attention its more like wanting to escape the deepest pains people always judge they dont kno sht bout wat u go thru period. no1 of flesh and blood has the right 2 say sht opinions are neitha wrong nor right thats the beauty of life god bless keep ya headz up!!
