I wrote this song to declare my belief we should be able to choose non life sometimes

Lyrics

Painted Ponies – Bill Nash (1999)

I never saw her, she stepped out from behind the semi trailer
The thump and blood, her lifetime wasted
That defining moment I never wanted to see
Her open eyes just looking back at me

The note tucked in her pocket to let the world know
That I was not the culprit, to take what she let go
She was crazy for release, she left me in this hell
I’ll see her face forever, in her final yell
=
Chorus
Life spins on dimes and carousels
Spinning choices and blunt farewells
Round in circles, don’t go nowhere
Painted ponies just don’t care
=
I can’t stand to live this way, the quality is gone
With no end to my suffering, I cannot go on
The sun it never rises, the flowers never bloom
And there’s no doubt in my mind I’ll never leave this room

So I made the call out to Doctor K
Could he maybe give me something to relieve this pain
Not for just an hour, but maybe for all time
Could you help me take my life, the choice is mine (CH)
=
Now there’ve been some times in my time on earth,
That I’ve had to think about it, what is this life worth?
And might there come a day I could take no more
Would I reach the same conclusion and close that door

But I wasn’t in their skin, I didn’t feel their loss
I never felt the weight of their massive cross
But I respect the fact they chose to take control of their choice’s
Anything else is a mistake (CH)
