I count my days

in cups of orange juice

There's a thousand ways

To tie a noose

There's tallies on the wall

And blood stains on my sheets

The tears they seem to fall

In endless crimson streaks

I count the seconds

But they're really counting you

There's a never ending weekend

Before i pass from view

The groups they tell me

Words of love and hate

None of them can see

The sorrow i relate

So i count my days

In cups of orange juice

They'll soon find me

Hanging from a noose

Theres these scars on my thigh

And gray in my hair

But you won't see me cry

Just an unrelenting glare

I count the seconds

That i spend missing you

This never endeing lesson

As i dissapear from view

A knife in the drawer

Calls out my name

I fall to the floor

But i'm not growing lame

I count my days

In cups of orange juice

Theres a thousand ways

To hang me from this noose
