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 |
