Goodbye and Good Luck
Embracing Life Amidst Turmoil
Lyrics
I'm a sucker for one liners
I have a weakness for concise and impactful statements.
And you bet I can make this quick
I can efficiently handle this situation.
I was staying afloat in apathy but I made the choice to live
I used to exist in indifference, but I chose to embrace life.
But the world's a scary place
The world is daunting and unsettling.
And I just can't seem to see escape i'll be in my room
It's challenging to find a way out, so I retreat to my room.
Day two i'm getting out of here
On the second day, I decide to leave because the environment is uncomfortable.
'Cause these bed sheets make me sweat
The bed sheets cause discomfort and make me perspire.
And i'm crawling in my skin
I feel uneasy and distressed.
A vision seen but I don't get it
I have a vision, but it's unclear or confusing.
And I didn't have a choice
I didn't have a say in the matter.
No I didn't have a choice to admit to that
I had no choice but to acknowledge a certain truth.
Oh my god it's been far to long
It has been too long, and I've lost friends and my home.
My friends i've lost
I've experienced significant loss among my friends.
And my home is gone
My home is no longer there.
And I don't know just were i'll go
Uncertainty about my future destination.
I know you're hoping and you're wishing
I understand you hope for my improvement.
That i'm getting myself better
Despite medication and external conditions, recovery is uncertain.
But despite these pills and despite this weather
If I pass away in November, will you attend my funeral promptly?
If I die in November take your sister's place
Reflection on the consequences of my absence.
Would you come to my funeral or show up late?
Questioning the commitment of others to attend my funeral.
And as you're marching down the pews
Imagining the scene of a funeral procession.
You're marking off my sins
Accounting for my wrongdoings during the funeral.
As your murmur to yourself he let the devil win
Others may perceive my surrender to negative influences.
Instead of trading it off you gave up, caved in
Criticizing a choice to give in rather than persevere.
Giving away what you could have been
Regret for not fulfilling one's potential.
Yeah right you'll call me back
Skeptical about a promise to return a call.
And when you do i'll be ready to chat
Prepared to engage in conversation when the call is returned.
I know you're just a phone away, no it's not that bad
Assurance that help or companionship is readily available.
You're just a phone away
Reassurance that support is just a phone call away.
