Oh, the sweet surrender to the water closing over

I can feel my face has gone hard again
Everything as fragile as dime store glass
And it's not so much the desire to blow my
brains out that surprises me
So much as the desire to take you with me

Why should I show you mercy?
The world has shown none to me

I'm leaving now
One way or the other
Pick your exit door

Wishing you were dead
Doesn't make you suicidal
Just a quitter
And a coward

This blackness has wrapped around my soul
and consumed my happiness
The well has gone dry
There is so little me left
The is nothing left for you
So quit asking
The dustbowl days are here again

And now I know why the old people are brittle and cynical and hard
And now I wonder why it takes them so long

I've lived in someone else's world for so long
of pain and doubt and uncertainty
and I'd like to go home now, please
