Dear Sweet Filthy World |
| Dear sweet, filthy world, my wife |
| Or whoever reads this |
| I think that I’ve lived too long |
| With all of my promise unfulfilled |
| But there is a veil drawn over all of that |
| I know you’ll probably say |
| «Spare us the melodrama» |
| I don’t know how he chose |
| The pills or the stupid revolver" |
| I’m out of luck |
| I’m not that strong |
| My hands, your neck |
| I might have wrung |
| Don’t try to find me |
| I’m not worth anything anymore |
| I am not leaving you |
| With all of your problems |
| 'Cause the biggest one is me |
| Life is dark and cold as the sea |
| Embrace me in my anguish |
| Put seaweed in my hair |
| And vow that you won’t cry |
| Because I’ve gone, I can’t go on |
| I can’t go on, I can’t go on |
| I must close now |
