Suicide Is Painless
Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see, that
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
Try to find a way to make
All our little joys relate
Without that ever-present hate
But now I know that it's too late
And suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
The game of life is hard to play
I’m gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
So this is all I have to say
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
The sword of time will pierce our skin
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger, watch it grin
But suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
And you can do the same thing
If you please
