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 done



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 done



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





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 done



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 feeling



I would shout them out



If I could find out all this, what's inside me



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 make some coffee



Pull on that new pair of pants



I can get so far [?]



The feeling just falls away





I've seen it all and it's all done



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
