David Lingabee Songs & Songwriting

What’s it’s like to kill yourself,
Where do you go from there,
Do all those things that made you kill,
Release, or return to dare.

Will you still end up in heaven,
Or spend some time in hell,
Maybe nothing changes except,
There’s no one around to tell.

Chorus
Does dying do away with,
Those things that made you sad,
Or do those dreaded thoughts of yours,
Leave you feeling you’ve been had.
______

It’s a lonely sad experience,
As you join those lives gone by,
I wish a better time for you,
As you cry yourself goodbye.

There is a place to go to,
It’s somewhere you will know,
Your favorite or familiar spot,
Is where you should now go.

Stay there till you’re calmer,
Stay there till you can be,
Your desire to find a mom again,
Will replace that urge to flee. 


Chorus
Does dying do away with,
Those things that made you sad,
Or do those dreaded thoughts of yours,
Leave you feeling you’ve been had.
______

And here we are in real time,
The same ‘ole same ‘ole pains,
They never seem to go away,
As they haunt within our brains.

Drugs and endless alcohol,
Marriages come and gone,
Inner pain so wrenching that,
We hope it’s gone by dawn.

Chorus
Does dying do away with,
Those things that made you sad,
Or do those dreaded thoughts of yours,
Leave you feeling you’ve been had.
______

I want you to know you’re beautiful,
I don’t care who agrees,
Your inner self is all that counts,
Though hard for most to see.

To resolve that we’re immortal,
Is not what we are taught,
It’s time to search our inner self,
And learn to not be bought.

You are truly magical,
You are like a glove,
That fits onto this goal called life,
To bless us all with love.

Chorus
Does dying do away with,
Those things that made you sad,
Or do those dreaded thoughts of yours,
Leave you feeling you’ve been had.
