Dying Slowly

I’ve got memories

I keep them away from me

They won’t behave

Won’t be what I want them to be

I’ve seen it all and it’s all dumb

I’ve been with everyone and no one

So many squandered moments

So much wasted time

So busy chasing dreams

I left myself behind

I’ve seen it all and it’s all dumb

I’ve been with everyone and no one

So this dying slowly

It seemed better than shooting myself

This dying slowly

It seemed better than shooting myself

But these worms, darling

They’re nibbling away at me

They go at it when I’m sleeping

Won’t let me get to my feet

I’ve seen it all and it’s all dumb

I’ve been with everyone and no one

So this dying slowly

It seemed better than shooting myself

This dying slowly

It seemed better than shooting

If I could find the words to explain this fear

Then I would shout them out

If I could find out honestly what’s inside it

I would shout it out

So this dying slowly

It seemed better than shooting myself

This dying slowly

It seemed better than shouting it out

I’ll make some coffee

Pull on that good pair of pants

I can get so far towards it

The feeling just falls away

I’ve seen it all and it’s all dumb

I’ve been with everyone and no one

I’m just tired, baby

I just need to lay down

I’m just tired, darling

I just need to lay down

I’m just tired, baby

I just need to lay down

I’m just tired, darling

I just need to lay down

I’m just tired, darling
