So this is it
And it's OK, because I'm going away
And I'm getting my way, all the time
This time and time again, I've prevailed
And still I feel soldiered by the rain and hail of desperate times on my mind
Who said it was OK to be so down?
So I'm giving up, I'm throwing away the keys
To my life, and all I thought it had for me
Bad disappointments, big loads of bullshit
And how can I stop it? I don't know
But I feel like shit
It's not OK, that we all have to give way
All those tolls that you paid for a sad end, a bad end
With no Sno-Caps, no slow claps, no standing-o claps
You know what you know
But can you die and be alright?
Who said it was OK to turn around?
So I'm giving up, I'm throwing away the key
To my life, and all I thought it had for me
Bad disappointments, big loads of bullshit
And how can I stop it? I don't know
But this is it
Does it ring a bell? Doesn't ring a bell.
