Please God, no

I’ve gotten myself trapped

Please help me escape

My strength has been sapped
.

The people close on me

Tell me their woes

They feel they must tell,

And start, “how does it go . . .”
.

It goes deeper and deeper

It’s driving me mad

It’s infecting my soul

It’s really too bad
.

You know, I don’t care

It can stay in

It’s all right, though

I’m already a has-been
.

My time is done

The knife drops to the floor

It’s all over now

It won’t haunt me anymore
