Do the laughs die when
One such as I run
And allow myself
Time for own true needs
When convincing me
That you're on my team
May not lie to me
But not mentioning
So sit back and have
An hysterical
Laugh at tiny holes
Buy and trade men's souls
X-ray mind reads plenty
Worth no more than pennies
You, they, it or what
Have been fair, I thought
May you never free
You from you or me
See the more I think
I'm afraid to blink
I don't move an inch
Slowly draining me
Hire a spy and bug me
Pimp your friends for money
Rich and growing sicker
Sell the dead ones quicker

    The last four lines are so brutal. He knows everyone\'s talking about him, he knows what they\'re saying and thinking. His family? Or the label put spies out to keep an eye on him, one of their big money makers, can\'t let anything happen to him, right? Meanwhile, those who were supposed friends come out of the woodwork to bum money from him now that he\'s rich...and growing sicker, so they won\'t have to pay it back, right? And the entertainment gossip columns, he knows that when he dies he\'ll be worth more dead than alive because death sells, everybody will want a piece of him, everyone will weep and moan over his passing, everybody will say what a great guy he was, I knew him as a friend, i knew him when....but it\'s all a big fat lie. He sees them all for what they truly are.
