It's Almost Over

My life is a cornfield

But all I'm seeing is grapes

Sometimes I wish I could just get away

You know, make my great escape.

Maybe I'm better off by myself

Watching the cars go by

As I get a new book off my shelf

But what about my family

Won't they miss me or care?

I don't think they'd even notice

But hey, no one ever said life was fair.

I can never do right

No matter how hard I try.

But my mind goes blank

When I think of reasons why.

I mean

I'm nice to these people

As nice as can be

But I can't be good enough.

So I'll just get free.

Go on my own way

Up into the clouds

Where all my troubles are gone

Can't hear any sounds

I'm here on the ledge

One step and I'm gone

But I can't bring myself to do it

I even do suicide wrong.
