I Quit (8.10.10)

I keep losing at this game of life
Think I'll quit while I'm ahead
I could play on,
But I
Think I'll walk away from everything
Instead

Maybe clear my head
Have no thoughts (there)
Nothing to hear
Nothing to see
Except for me
And my failure

I give up
I can't play this game no more
It's not something I asked for
And I just can't take it anymore
I'm done.

I tried, and I failed, 
So many times I can't count
And trying hasn't worked
So now I want out

Let me go
Let me be free
Let me see how blissful ignorance can be

I'm not saying I think I'm a quitter,
I already know I am.
Why should this be any different
From everything else I've done?

I tried to change, 
But it wasn't good enough
I can't live up to all their expectations
They are too much

So I'm telling you
That I've had enough
I quit I quit 
Leave me alone
I don't exist
I'm done. 

I quit
I quit
I just don't give a shit
I'm losing,
So I might as well
Give up while I'm ahead
