From the recording The Bear & The Bird
Lyrics
I never really paid much mind
To some of my friends talking suicide
It’s just a thing we talk about
And no-one ever acts it out
But that just ain’t the truth no more
The other day I sunk to the floor
What if I never got back up
Would anyone care for what was lost?
Oh Jesus, will you let me drown?
I don’t think I’m well to do
But thanks for asking how ’bout you?
I know you’re never well yourself
But today I’d like you to help
This sure as hell ain’t just a phase
I’m telling you I’ve lost that race
The race for happiness and pride
Neither of which stick by my side
Oh Jesus, will you let me drown?
I don’t think I’m well to do
But thanks for asking how ’bout you?
I know you’re never well yourself
But today I’d like you to help me lose
This aching blues with you
I don’t think I’m well to do
But thanks for asking how ’bout you?
I know you’re never well yourself
But today I’d like you to help
’Cause I don’t want to spend my days
Listening to people with nothing to say
And I don’t like spending my nights
Contemplating suicide
