The shabby little casket, forgotten odds and ends
The photos on the sideboard, my family and friends
The stucco on the ceiling, the carpet on the floor
I will not take it with me, I don't need it anymore
Every flower in my garden
I've carefully brought up and reared
Everything that once was worthy
Everything I loved and feared
All that I desired,
What I was fighting for –
I will not take it with me,
I don't need it anymore
I am leaving now
And I won't come back
Results of diagnosis, the pressure in my head
The piles of analgesics in my bedside cabinet
The neon on the ceiling, the bloodstain on the floor
I will not take it with me, I don't need it anymore
Every teardrop of compassion
Every single helping hand
Every sign that once was caring
The crucifix, the promised land
All that I believed in
What I was praying for
The holy goddamn bible
I don't need it anymore
I am leaving now
And I won't come back
Every friend and every fellow
Every dainty I enjoyed
Every song that I was singing
Everything that filled the void
All that has defined me
What I was living for
I will not take it with me
I don't need it anymore
I am leaving now
And I won't come back
