Why
Surrounded by people but feeling alone
Wearing a smile not really my own
Not caring if I live or I die
Wake up each morning ad wondering why
Thinking of death more often than not
Although this is the only life that I got
Don’t believe in a heaven or hell
But I could be wrong only time will tell
Pain works better than those pills that I take
Narrows my world but keeps me awake
Would drink all the time but I cannot
Took some tests anomy liver is shot
A slow lingering death is not in my plan
I’d want to go as fast as I can
Insurance won’t pay for a suicide
So for now I guess I’m along for the ride
My wife and my kid are rally good
and I’d give my life for them if only i could
But for now I will just hang around and hope for the best
Knowing that I’ll have forever to rest.
