Goodbye nurses, these wounds will heal
And there are worse things than waiting for a scar to appear
I'm sick of grudges
In fact I just feel ill and I'm hanging round til afternoon
Right now I'm mostly casting shadows

Life is short and unforgiving
I only fear the living
Life is short and unforgiving
I only fear the living

Rhododendrons sent to a friend from some garden
With a note saying sorry that I couldn't be there
I know you're lonely and it's just not fair
And I could really use a pick me up
I'm not complaining I'm just always tired

Life is short and unforgiving
I only fear the living
Life is short and unforgiving
I only fear the living

I smelled something likе my mother's perfume
It madе me miss myself and early mornings
I'm not the type to think half-full
I think it's what's left so I'll enjoy it
Oh I saw dying font back page
Full stop incorporate
The bottom halfs ad space price each word print
And it meant nothing
I only fear the living
Life is short and unforgiving
I only fear the living
