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
An ruminate on when I lost my light
Contemplate with empathy, you might
See why I have ended this lousy life
