["It brings on many changes","","That suicide is painless","To answer questions that are key"," And you can do the same thing if you please","The pain grows stronger watch it grin, but","The only way to win is cheat","Without that ever-present hate","","And I replied 'Oh, why ask me?'","","","","That suicide is painless","It brings on many changes","And I can take or leave it if I please","That suicide is painless","","But now I know that it's too late, and","","That suicide is painless","","Through early morning fog I see","'Cause suicide is painless","And to another give my seat","","I realize and I can see","A brave man once requested me","But as it works its way on in","And I can take or leave it if I please","And I can take or leave it if I please","And I can take or leave it if I please","And I can take or leave it if I please","","It brings on many changes","","And I can take or leave it if I please","That suicide is painless","It brings on many changes","Is it to be or not to be","All our little joys relate","Visions of the things to be","The sword of time will pierce our skins","And I can take or leave it if I please","I'm gonna lose it anyway","It brings on many changes","So this is all I have to say","For that's the only painless feat","The pains that are withheld for me","The game of life is hard to play","","That suicide is painless","I try to find a way to make","It brings on many changes","It brings on many changes","It doesn't hurt when it begins","The losing card I'll someday lay","","And lay it down before I'm beat"]
