Little Black Submarines

'I'm sorry,' he says into the phone.

Little black submarines

Operator please

'No. Don't do this. Please,' I plead to him.

Put me back on the line

'I just don't think that I can handle this anymore,' he argues.

Told my girl I'd be back

'It's like... you're not living in this world,' he adds.

Operator please

This is wrecking my mind

'I can do better! I can be better!' I say in a last attempt.

'No. It's too late.'

'Please, Zack. I'll try to make the voices stop,' I plea, nearly sobbing.

Oh, can it be?

The voices calling me

They get lost

And out of time.

'There's nothing you can do. I thought I could handle it. But I just can't. I'm
sorry, Melody,' he states finally and hangs up.

I should've seen it glow

But everybody knows

That a broken heart is blind

That a broken heart is blind

I throw the phone at the wall, heartbroken and furious. Furious at myself.
Furious at the voices. Why can't they just leave me alone? I take out my pocket
knife and start running towards my secret place.

Pick you up, let you down

When I wanna go

To a place I can hide

I don't even care about the plans I made to hang out with my friends anymore. I
can't see them. I can't do anything. It's all my fault. I'm the schizophrenic freak
who lives in another world. I run to the secret place, nearly tripping over my
favored log that I sit on and think. I can't think right now. They make me think
bad things.

You know me, I had plans

But they all disappeared

To the back of my mind

I thought I could be someone different. I could change the world. I had plans for
myself. To be successful and famous. And then everything changed.
Oh, Melody. You would be nothing without us, the voices say.

I shake my head and sob, not wanting to believe it, but sometimes I can't help it.

Oh, can it be?

The voices calling me

They get lost

And out of time.

I sob harder, nearing a panic attack, and take out my pocket knife. This is for
you, Zack.

I should've seen a glow

But everybody knows

That a broken heart is blind

That a broken heart is blind

I place my trusty pocket knife right in front of where my cold heart is. This is the
end. I plunge it into my soft, sensitive skin, and gasp at the horrible pain.

'Oh, my God, Mel! Holy shit!' A familiar voice shouts.

Treasure maps, fallen trees

Operator please

Call me back when it's time

'Mel! Melody! Speak to me! Please! No, don't go to sleep! Please! DON'T FVCKING LEAVE ME!'

Stolen friends and disease

Operator please

Patch me back to my mind

'DON'T YOU DARE FVCKING LEAVE ME, MELODY! JUST HANG ON!'

I hear the ambulance sirens nearing and his strong arms holding me tight. I can
barely feel anything anymore and my blood goes cold, my organs quickly failing
and I start dying quicker and quicker.

Oh, can it be?

The voices calling me

They get lost

And out of time

I hear them one last time.

Come to us, Melody. Come towards the light. Leave behind all of it. All of the heartbreak, all of the pain. Come to the voices, Melody. is what the voices say one last time.

I see the white light in front of me, and start to go to it. I turn around and see Zack on the ground, holding my cold, lifeless body, sobbing as hard as he can.

I should've seen a glow

But everybody knows

That a broken heart is blind

That a broken heart is blind

That a broken heart is blind

I go back to my body and whisper one last thing to him.

'I'm sorry.'

And with that, I'm gone.
