    Some thoughts for your situation:


    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...

    [REFRAIN]:

    that suicide is painless
    It brings on many changes
    and I can take or leave it if I please.

    I 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...

    [REFRAIN]

    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.

    [REFRAIN]

    The only way to win is cheat
    And lay it down before I'm beat
    and to another give my seat
    for that's the only painless feat.

    [REFRAIN]

    The sword of time will pierce our skins
    It doesn't hurt when it begins
    But as it works its way on in
    The pain grows stronger...watch it grin, but...

    [REFRAIN]

    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?'

    [REFRAIN]

    'Cause 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.
