lyrics

What remained the truth for a certain amount of time
Was that we had spoken for the last time in our lives.

What became so clear in the ER's fluorescent shine 
Was that you'd slowly worried yourself blind  
So now they say you're depressed
 But I'm pretty sure they lied. If you can't get yourself dressed
 You might as well have died.   
Why bother giving pills 
Unless marked as cyanide? 
You can't eat food or crack a smile
 You've got no life.  I've been staring down death
 Directly in his sunken face
 And his name is my name
 And his body's the same.
  What love of punishment would keep me here with
 A ghastly ghost with graying beard 
Graying teeth and graying hair

  And without an escape 
Or someone to reshape
 My every tendency
 I'm going to end up there
 Shrinking from light  
And tearing out my hair
 I've never been more certain of anything
 I'm gonna end up like this sickly person in front of me.   
And for what gain? 
If this worlds all a game?
 The cruelest joke of ‘em all Is dying across the hall.  

Give 'em hell, kid  You used to say 
I'm in hell, Dad
 Thanks anyway.
