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 to late, and...      REFRAIN         The game of life is hard to play   I'm going to 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?'         '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.
