lyrics

(4:30 AM:) after a night of drinking
I try to stumble home and on the way I stop to rest at a
(Local Sporting club.) As I take a seat I hear a voice behind me,
a man then stands beside me

With a short introduction he offers a cigarette and
after I reject I notice the tears in his
eyes. He says he wants to die and tonight his only
option is suicide

Now you need to know, I want to help you
I just dont know what to do, or what to say
The will to live can decompose so quickly
Life is just a clock that ticks away

He tells me that he once had a family
And around he had assets in many properties
But he traded it all for another girl
But she betrayed him then left with nothing
He could not return to his wife and kids
A tragic ending

Now you need to know, I want to help you
I just dont know what to do, or what to say
The will to live can decompose so quickly
Life is just a clock that ticks away

Thoughts race through my mind but they are draped in fear
Anything that I say will fall upon deaf ears
Take me away, I want to leave
I only pray you surpass this tragedy

Haaaaaaaa

This is a god damn disgrace I can't believe
Please spare this man and return him to his family

Life is just a clock that ticks away
