Cliche

(Jason Retana and Myra)
2004
Jason Retana : guitar and vocals

Myra: vocals

This is an improvisation meant to make light of the many pop songs dealing with depression
Every morning when I wake up
to this life
things that run through my head
point in the same direction

Seems like my big task today;
gotta find a way to end it all

I wanna die - I wanna die
I just want to kill myself one more time

I don't want it to hurt
cause I'm already in so much pain
so much pain

I tried aleeve
I tried the prozac
but I don't have the inside connections to get the hard shit that would help

because I don't have a job
they keep firing me
because I'm so fucking depressed they say
why do you wear black every fuckin day

and why do you have that smirk on your face?"

I can't tell you why

why do I wanna die?

What should I try next time?
Whole foods wouldn't let me buy my arsenic they wouldn't let me have my fix -
they wouldn't let me get out of this hole I call life

let me fuckin DIE -----------SUICIDE -----------
this time I got the good rope.
This time I got the good rope
baby aren't you proud of me

Bill, you can have my sweaters
and Bob, you can have my cd collection, except for metallica-
that goes to Stacey

Jack, we've been through a lot, you can have my guitar, man
All the money in my bank account, that's for you mom.

Use it.....to bury me

Don't fight over it!

I'm just telling you how it is

this is it
this time I'm really gonna get through to the other side

no more hospital visits because I didn't make it

I'm gonna do it right

I'm gonna die for you

cause hell is better

than living without you
