I’ll be checking out soon.
I can no longer live in gloom.
If you seek me I’ll be gone.
So you’d better say so long.
I’ll be reaching toward the sky,
Where I no longer have to cry.
If I spread my wings I’ll fly.
But first I have to die.
Of that I have no fear.
Peace at last seems very clear.
So don’t call me here again,
For my resistance is wearing thin.
I don’t exactly have a plan.
But why go on as half a man.
Many others will be better off,
When I’m planted in my plot.
I hear the whistle upon the train,
On the tracks in the pouring rain.
I go to where I hurt no more.
Across a gulf on a brighter shore.
As my departure is drawing near,
There is one thing I want made clear.
No one else is to be blamed.
I’m just tired of my worthless name.
