About Pitiful

"Pitiful" is the fourth single released from Sick Puppies' 2007 album Dressed Up as Life. This song talks about how useless someone thinks their life is, to the point where they feel like killing themselves. The person has been looking for a reason to not end it all, but hasn't found one by the end of the song. The subject of the song has abused all the drugs he knows of, with the only exceptions being heroin and cyanide because he "can't afford them yet".

Made the toast, burnt the eggs, never got the hang of them
Just another other day
Caught the bus, forgot the change, looks like I'll be late again
Hopefully, they won't complain

My life's so pitiful, give me one good reason why I shouldn't end it all
If there's a reason, then I haven't found it yet
And I try every **** I find except, maybe, **** and ****
But there's a reason I just can't afford it yet
It's another overdose

Went to work, saw you there
But you never seem to care for a single thing I say
I set my clock and went to sleep
This anxiety, I keep through another **** day
Looks like that's all today, I'm dying

My life's so pitiful, give me one good reason why I shouldn't end it all
If there's a reason, then I haven't found it yet
And I try every **** I find except, maybe, **** and ****
But there's a reason I just can't afford it yet

My life's so pitiful, pitiful
Pitiful, pitiful, pitiful

My life's so pitiful, give me one good reason why I shouldn't end it all
If there's a reason, then I haven't found it yet
And I try every **** I find except, maybe, **** and ****
But there's a reason I just can't afford it yet

Well, my life's so pitiful, my life's so pitiful
My life's so pitiful, I'm dying
