the shortest distance (running up that hill)
I’ve thought about suicide once or twice…
I’ve thought about suicide a few times…
I’ve thought about suicide a lot…
I think about suicide every day…
say, if only I could, oh…
my birth
happened in the now
which means it’s happening as I speak
my death
will happen in the now
which means it’s already happened
I am born
I write these words
I am dead
I made a deal with god
I got him to swap our places
been running up that road
been running up that hill
I am borne
I wrote those words
I am dead
I made a deal with god
I got him to swap our places
been running up that road
been running up that hill
thinking about burning a bush…
thinking about a burning bush…
if only I could…
