We All Want That

Not a lot of people think about
killing themselves
I mean, not a lot of people think of it
as a real option, because I mean, when
things get tough, when you get the bad
breaks, well, they get better
eventually they do

and no one wants to think about the bad stuff
and everyone wants to see the light
at the end of the tunnel
and no one wants to think that bad things
can happen to them

it’s like they think they are invincible or something

but sometimes things don’t work out that way

and no, you don’t want to think about the bad stuff
and you want to think about
the things that are supposed to
make life grand for you

we all want that, don’t we
