Suicide Is Painless Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
[Verse 4]
A brave man once requested me
To answer questions that are key
"Is it to be or not to be?"
And I replied, "Oh, why ask me?"
[Chorus]
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
