Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh I spoke a little too loud I separated myself from the crow-wow-wowd When it stops being fun I won't hesitate, I'll run run run No backwards glance So please appreciate my stance You can use my words for free I'm just writing my own obituary What if all the bile eats me alive? Berating myself, well into the lateness of my life My family were told there's no such thing as a society Despite the evidence I find surrounding me in reality Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh I walk along the high-level bridge The river below dissolves in the mist And the pleasure I seek has passed long ago I pinned my colours to the mast Complacency is not for me There's nothing worse than mediocrity I'm just writing my own obituary What if all the bile eats me alive? Berating myself, well into the lateness of my life My family were told there's no such thing as a society Despite the evidence I find surrounding me Reality defies the stubborn rule of ideology I'm way past caring what the doubt and tormentthinks of me Defeat is not a word I often say But I think the time has come to use it anyway We must move on, my heart just cracked and something's wrong We must move on, my heart just cracked and something's gone Anyway, I hope my news won't leave a sickly aftertaste Especially if you're having a trying time today
