Little Piece by Little Piece

I.

Little piece by little piece 

You will grow ugly in time

Your hair will fall out

Following your teeth in-to the garbage bin

Little by little you will lose all your friends

You will move away

And by the time you get back 

There will be no audience for you, man

And boy oh boy

Don’t think too hard about what you want to destroy

II.

I’m not at a loss but what do I hope to gain?

Find something simple to do

Oh baby tell me lately-

Who have you been talking to?

Get a job that pays your bills 

And try not to steal anyone’s pills 

There’s still time for you to get some skills 

If all else fails move to Thailand and chill

But don’t think too much about wanting 

Cuz you never get enough.

So breathe more, sleep less

Make your own lunch and figure out how to dress 

There’s nothing new under the sun

So don’t go thinking you’re the chosen one

Or you’ll hurt the ones you love

And you’ll trip and fall if you’re too busy looking above.

III.

Do your friends make you feel more or less alone?

And how do you like yourself?

People know you jump ship too quickly

No I will not let you off easy this time my friend

There is something inside that has to end

You’ll tried to kill it off once now drink up again

I’m not here to count my sins

But I want to know how it ends

IV. 

Here 

i 

stand 

A 

lonesome 

man

And i am so 

By 

my 

own 

hand

And i once tried to kill myself

Now I’m a book up-on the shelf

But I’m no reread

i am a 

one 

and 

done

And i’ll be dead once i’m done trying

i’ll be dead once i’m done trying

i’ll be dead once i’m done trying

But the ink is still drying

The ink is still drying. 

We’re all still dying. 

and i’ll be dead once again

and i’ll be dead once again 

and i’ll be dead once again

and I’ll be dead once again 

If death knocks let her in.
