Lyrics
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. 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. 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. 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?' 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. And you can do the same thing if you please
