Dear sweet filthy world, my wife or whoever reads this
|
I think that I've lived too long
|
With all of my promise unfulfilled
|
But there is a veil drawn over all of that
|
I know you'll probably say, "Spare us the melodrama"
|
"I don't know how he chose the pills or the stupid revolver"
|
I'm out of luck
|
I'm not that strong
|
My hands, your neck
|
I might have wrung
|
|
Don't try to find me
|
I'm not worth anything anymore
|
I am not leaving you with all of your problems
|
The biggest one is me
|
|
Life is dark
|
Cold as the sea
|
Embrace me in my anguish
|
Put seaweed in my hair and vow that you won't cry because
|
I've gone
|
I can't go on, I can't go on, I can't go on
|
I must close now
|
