Funny how we've made the choice
To die even before we are born
Funny how many attempts we can make
Before we finally fall
Funny how long it takes for the blood to run out
And leave us for once and for all
Funny how much your body can handle
When you don't want to deal no more
Funny how gas can make you laugh and cry
When you're locked in the car and don't even care why
Funny how many pills your system can take
When death is the option you've already made
Funny how long we can hang in the balance
Between the length of a noose and the floor
Funny how hard our dreams can hit us
And with the car we could never afford
Funny how heavy water can feel
When its welling up in your lungs
Funny how the ones who aren't afraid to do it
Are the ones you'd never guessed would jump
Funny how people start paying attention
When you're holding the gun to your head
Funny how our own thoughts eat us alive
Aren't we all just better off dead?
