Excuse me, sir Can I buy a bit of time? Death day is coming fairly soon Looking at stars, I could read the signs Slicing scythes through souls To leave a hole in my whole being. Without any modification still, I feel a broken existence is all they're seeing. That's not to say this life is shallow But the targets I am aiming just end up breaking When my points are sitting hollow. Sir, if I could have a moment more, My life fluid dripping from my heart Puddling the bathroom floor. No one tends to notice, no one stops Today, I kick the bucket. Tomorrow, they just mop. Forgetting to be human To all other human beings, Writing cries but no one's reading. Please, if I could have a second... Okay, no hand wavering, I get it. Just let me close my eyes Drifting into another spectrum.
