Nice suits and black shoes, everyone is crying
Now I think it's my time to slip away, how I loathe this feeling
On top of all the dying I think I need a new job, running out of money
And my mom just phoned about the news
It always seems that just as I
Build the strength enough to climb and fight
The trees they grow in and block my sight
And now I'm stuck here with my darkest inner thoughts
I pleaded and prayed to you to come and take away
The voices and the choices that are bound to tear me limb from limb
They told me that you hear in some other way but if the answer is unknown
Then why should I believe them when they say
That you're up there and you honestly do care?
Everyone is singing now about the God, the God of love
But I don't feel it in my heart right now
The comforting reassurance of a cause but I want to believe
It always seems that just as I
Build the strength enough to climb and fight
The trees they grow in and block my sight
And now I'm stuck here with my darkest inner thoughts
I pleaded and prayed to you to come and take away
The voices and the choices that are bound to tear me limb from limb
They told me that you hear in some other way but if the answer is unknown
Then why should I believe them when they say
That you're up there and you honestly do care?
Oh, the opium blues inside my veins
I've got the chemicals inside my head to blame
The drugs do what the friends cannot
Oh, I think it's my time to slip away, how I love this feeling
