Lyrics
SUICIDE IN Bm.
Bm Em Bm Em
Within the faded memories of all you could have been,
Bm Em Bm Em
These empty four walls that reflect all that you?ve achieved.
Bm Em Bm Em
Entombed inside the refuge of the place that you call home,
Bm Em Bm Em F#4 F#
Safe in solitude you can believe you?re not alone.
Taking in the morning paper in your vacuum of a mind.
Nothing stirs, nothing moves you from this permanent decline.
You?ve got a dying child inside and he?s reaching out to you,
But complacently unshaken you pour out your morning brew.
Bm A
Your treasures now are comfort, security and wealth,
D B7
You value your position as a pillar of success,
Em Bdim F#4 F#
You?ve compromised your ideals now you?ll never find your dreams again.
Bm A D
So you take out the car and you go for a ride
B7 Em Bdim F#4 F#
Trying hard to remember the child that once was.
Should your world of self delusion ever crumble and decay,
Should you shatter the illusion that lets you face another day.
Should the veil you wear dislodge, should you ever clearly see
The meaningless remnants of your mediocrity.
Your treasures will be burdens, like your comfort and your wealth,
You?ll question your position, the nature of your success.
You?ve forgotten your ideals, did you ever have a dream at all.
So you?ll take out the car, close your eyes,
Try hard to forget who you are.
