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 R: 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 too late. And that suicide is painless It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please.) 2. 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.
