Suicide Is Painless - J. Mandel

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... 

[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 choose.
