lyrics

Time To Go South

Sitting counting stitches running down my chest
I’ve lost a lot of blood but I’m not finished yet
Could really use a laugh but I might fall apart
But trying to hold it in has gotten just too hard

Well they tell me that I’m fading, it just seems funny
If this is how it ends then I never saw it coming
Lying in the waiting room I can feel it running out
So ready or not,
It’s time to go south

Someone else’s family in a picture frame
I’m thinking I won’t make it but the doctor thinks he’s famous
If this is the punchline then god’s a lazy comic
So if I get to come back I’ll put a better spin on it

Everybody’s talking with their voices down low
Just what’s killing me, no one seems to know
Everything they’re telling me seems like a joke
And my blood continues to flow
Yeah, my blood continues to flow

Well they tell me that I’m fading, it just seems funny
If this is how it ends then I never saw it coming
Lying in the waiting room I can feel it running out
So ready or not,
It’s time to go south

Sitting counting stitches running down my chest
I’ve lost a lot of blood but I’m not finished yet
Could really use a laugh but I might fall apart
But trying to hold it in has gotten just too hard

So ready or not,
Ready or not,
Ready or not,
It’s time to go south
