It's alrightIt's OK I guessIf someone I care forIs benefiting from the messI can put up with this I thinkI'm sure I can rise above the stink'You can walk the ttight ropeif you try.'I tell myself that when I wanna dieDon't ever doubt the resolve I've lostAnd I won't ask about the costSo, its OKyou be happyYou deserve itThe pain that makes me strongerIs because I've absorbed it longerApathy is cancer killing me...
