Closing Down

Words and Music by Todd Lerner

Come back later I am closing down

You’ll have to come back later I am closing down closing down

My confidence is beaten to the ground

It looks up at me and doesn’t make a sound and now

I am closing down

I am closing down

I am closing down

Because I am strong they think it doesn’t hurt

’Cause I am strong they think it doesn’t hurt doesn’t hurt

Piss on my heart then roll it in the dirt

It makes them happy when they see that I can hurt fuck them

I am closing down

I am closing down

I am closing down

My phone is turned off and now it is just me

There’s nothing I want to do or hear or feel or see

I shut things off and unplug the TV

I search in my clothes but now I can’t find me so then

I am closing down

I am closing down

I am closing down

I am closing I am closing I am closing I am closing

I am closing I am closing I am closing I am closing

I am closing I am closing down
