Exit Stage Left

Come, sit beside me, warm your soul beside the fire
I've got questions, you see, burning in me
Just dying to be answered
And as you can see, we've got all eternity
It's not like you've got someplace to go
I just want to know, so badly, I want to know

Please, I need to know, how does it feel to feel alone?
What is it like to be lost, out in the woods, not sure how to get home?
And how does it feel to not know if the burying snow will snuff you out like a sapling?
How does it feel to be the only thing in between your birth and your death?
When you lay down to rest and think of your breath as the only thing in your lungs
What does it mean, to be just a machine?

I know this must be something of a disappointment
When you closed your eyes and out your last breath went
But how does it feel to be so real, so here, so now, so small?
Just a mammal, lying down, for a final sleep
No don't make a peep, I don't want to hear it!
I don't want to hear anything at all!

So come, sit beside me, warm your soul beside my fire
I'm just so envious, I was never blessed with the bliss of uncertainty
Not knowing how tomorrow will be, or if it will be
To have that singular power that if you want in an hour
There won't be any thing at all, to fall to fall I can't remember
It all stretches on and on and on
Oh my God, Oh my God
To be so real, so here, so now, so small so small
I just want to end it
End it all
