| Suicide Is Painless |
| The Pains that are witheld for me I realize and I can see... That suicide is painless it brings on many changes And I can take it if I please. I try to find a way to make all our little joys relate Without that ever-present hate but now I know that it's too late, and...That suicide is painless it brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please. The game of life is hard to play. I'm gonna lose it anyway. The losing card I'll someday lay so this is all I have to say. That suicide is painless it brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please. The only way to win is cheat and lay it down before I'm beat, and to another give my seat for that's the only painless feat. That suicide is painless it brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please. The sword of time will pierce our skins it doesn't hurt when it begins But as it works its way on in the pain grows stronger...watch it grin, but ... That suicide is painless it brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please. A brave man once reguested me to answer questions that are key "Is it to be or not to be" and I replied "Oh why ask me?" That suicide is painless it brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please. And you can do the same thing if you choose. |

| This was the original song for the M*A*S*H movie. Did you know these were the lyrics to that wonderful tune we hummed for years??? My precious son Raymond died by suicide on July 9,2001. I personally know it's not Painless. It's ruined my life and his..... |
| Thankyou Karyl (Owner of Parents Of Suicide) for sharing this song with me. |
