visions of the things to be
 the pains that are withheld for me
 I realize and I can see...

 [Refrain]:
 That suicide is painless
 It brings on many changes
 and I can take or leave it if I please.

 [Refrain]

 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.

 [Refrain]

 The sword of time will pierce our skins
 It doesn't hurt when it begins
 But as it works its way on in
 The pain grows stronger, watch it grin, but...

 [Refrain]

 A brave man once requested me
 to answer questions that are key
 "is it to be or not to be"
 and I replied "oh why ask me?"

 'Cause suicide is painless
 it brings on many changes
 and I can take or leave it if I please.
 ...and you can do the same thing if you please.
