Lifers - The Flatliners

So save up your dusty pennies

And pack all of the things you know you’ll lose

Remember things might get heavy

Try harder to think of an excuse

Of why your own bed is really

A knot away from tying a noose

Save it.

I’m done already

On and on and on and on

So long.

My lungs are black and full

Of useless excuses I’ve come to know

We’ve come to carve out our hole

We’re here to ensure that you’ve expired

From this wretched dust pool

And piss on the everlasting fire

Commonplace casualties, we

Breathe heavier every passing day

The stories we tell so fondly

Keep us awake!

So long.

My lungs are black and full

Of useless excuses I’ve come to know

So long.

I’ve cut the cord and pull-ull-ulled

The blanket down over the world you know

Try harder to think of something

A reason to remain standing still

A reason to throw it all away!

Try harder to think of an excuse

Try harder to think of what you do!

Try harder to think of why you wouldn’t just see it through!

Try harder, yeah!

So long.

My lungs are black and full

Of useless excuses I’ve come to know

So long.

I’ve cut the cord and pull-ull-ulled

The blanket down over the world you know
