this year has killed so many without a moment's thought    seduced by a promise that things were soon to get better    the meaning of life has been lost forever    and they're waiting for me to discover them one    haven't you heard this old line before    out of boredom they married one sun spoiled day    accelerated to murder while blaming each other along the way    i finally started thinking straight    when i found there was nothing left to investigate    do we ever know when to end or to be satisfied    its time to look at something you've seen before but never noticed    something you've dragged on its belly through all of your years    entitled "the greatest companion" as it always stayed by your side    i'll pray that things get better
