Donnie--

I heard a rumor,

Are you still battling your demons?

Uh-huh

And is your will to live,

Changing,

Like the seasons?

Uh-huh

And I heard,

That when you manic,

Do you tend to get too impulsive?

Uh-huh

Consumed by dark thoughts,

It must got you exhausted,

Uh-huh

Have you considered,

At all-

What it just might cost you?

Uh-huh

Like-

What if they lost you?

Uh-huh

Do you think about it?

Of course--

It must be quite often,

Uh-huh

Because you’re keeping yourself,

Must not be doing too well,

Uh-huh

A lost soul,

Teetering-

Between Heaven and Hell,

Uh-huh

Can't have emotions,

You have to be-

A hollow shell,

Uh-huh

Can’t be-

Emotional and frail,

Uh-huh

Since you are a male,

Uh-huh

But I can tell-

That you might need some help,

Uh-huh

So--

Don’t get complacent,

Or grow stagnant,

Got it?

Uh-huh

Because,

This world we live in--

Defines all logic,

Uh-huh

That’s why we’re here,

I want you-

To get the most up out it,

Uh-huh

So, you can’t give up,

You'd at least-

Better try,

Uh-huh

To truly live life,

While you're still alive,

Uh-huh
