Arsenic - A Book's As Good As a Suicide Lyrics

I always feel like I want to disapear
It makes me sad to live without someone that I can't live without
And I don't think that happiness is here
I meant to say that I'm in the way, but I won't bother anyone

There's still a place that I'll always know
My friends are there and I often go
Where I'm not scared and I don't hide
Because a book's as good as a suicide

I need someone to tell me who to be
A drug adiction at its height
What story should I read tonight?
The pain is always catching up to me
And loneliness has settled in
But what I read just save my life

Arsenic and formaldehyde
We hide the things that we want to hide
A book's as good as a suicide
A book's as good as a suicide

We met at school and talked the night away
Someone to touch me and to wipe away the tears we cried tonight
If only I could say it was my own
And not some fictional fantasy, I wouldn't have to risk my life anymore
