If I knew that you were coming.... If I knew that my time was really ticking. If I knew that an insidious parasite was coming to eat me alive. To **** the marrow from my bones, tell me I was too much as it's fat belly heaved. To whisper sweet nothings in my ear. That I'd find 'I love you' in the putrid ***** of your lies. I've got a 20 dollar bill that says the freezing, ice cold water looks tempting. Walking twenty foot through flames, mad with desire for flesh was on my to do list. There's a line of twelve inch spikes, especially sharpened, just begging for me to lie down. I'd of tightened the ropes that held my wrists to the tracks of the new freight train. Because there are worse things than death. I've dragged my nails along these floorboards to find what remained of me. I've tied what was left into a satin cloth and lowered her into the ground. Worse things than death, is being dead long before you die.

If I knew Id fall in love with you...
