Blackout (Outro) from Unveil by ElysianSoul

I was supposed to go on a night out,
And, I was just in such a bad place,
I hadn't eaten for weeks.
I was abusing alcohol,
And I'd already had a lot to drink that night.

And, I was in such a bad place,
I just knew that I,
I could never feel happiness ever again.
It's this weird feeling.

But it was,
It was then that I knew that I had to do it.
So, I did.

I woke up in hospital,
And I knew,
I was totally alone,
And I knew that I had to get rid of them,
I had to get rid of the pills out of my stomach,
And that I'd made a mistake.

Something that always sticks in my mind,
On that day, was
A nurse came in,
And she said to me, "don't be sick",
Because it was unhygienic.
And, you know what?
I kept doing it anyway,
I kept throwing up right in front of her
Because I wanted to save my life.

It made me realise that,
There is no-one else who is
Going to come save you,
You have to save yourself.

I walked home by myself,
It was about five in the morning,
It was such a beautiful morning,
It was so crisp, and there was this haze,
This low, dusky, morning haze,
And, I learned a really important lesson that day.

I no longer starved myself.
Or hurt myself.
I hit rock bottom.
I blacked out.
And, I decided to live.
