[Verse 1]
Let's get this outta the way
I wanna state clearly right here
I have no intention to die
But sometimes impulses appear
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I get the sudden urge
To jump in front of trains
Or steer the car into
The opposing lane
And like a fleeting itch
I've got a deathwish
[Verse 2]
As I'm here talking to you
It's obviously safe to assume
That I'm not impulsive enough
To act on these fancies of doom
[Pre-Chorus 2]
But don't be surprised to find
Me standing on a ledge
Looking down over that seductive edge
Hypnotized by “what if”
I've got a deathwish
[Chorus]
If my mind can think it
Does that mean it may come true?
If my mind can think it
(I want to live, I want to die)
Does that mean it may come true?
(I want to live, I want to die)
[Bridge]
I guess it's all right
To wonder what's
On the other side
[Pre-Chorus 3]
If you're a victim of
These crazy sorts of thoughts
You fear you're alone out there
But clearly not
Into the dark abyss
We've got a deathwish
[Chorus]
If my mind can think it
(I want to live, I want to die)
Does that mean it may come true?
(I want to live, I want to die)
If my mind can think it
(I want to live, I want to die)
Does that mean it may come true?
(I want to live, I want to die)
