My Short Unhappy Life Lyrics

Welcome to my short unhappy life

Where albatrosses dance below the light

My misery still manifests tonight

Yes, welcome to my short unhappy life

Listen to my short unhappy life

You'll hear a tale of bitterness and blight

The clock will seem a vixen, stealing sight

Forget about my short unhappy life

Many are dead, many remain

I wish I could cast it back

Give it some use, give it some worth

I'd welcome a heart attack

Cynical head, cynical brain

It's clear that I don't deserve

End the abuse, turn back my birth

An outlier on the curve

Please accept my short unhappy life

It's bland cliché and altogether trite

This draft is too verbose: it should be tight

I must reject your short unhappy life

Open up my short unhappy life

Elucidate the nature of my plight

Investigate persistently, you might

Discover I've cut short my empty life

I should be dead, I must complain

I wish that I'd rot away

I'm of no use, I have no hope

No, really, I shouldn't stay

Lyrical head, lyrical brain

It's clear that I have no skill

Please let me choose, hand me the rope

I'm sure that I've had my fill

I don't want your sympathy

That's no goddamn use to me

My life is a tragedy

Don't try to change this story

Welcome to my short unhappy life

And ruminate on when I lost my light

Contemplate with empathy, you might

See why I have ended this lousy life
