Enjoy little things in life
While you can
Before ended by Death's knife
Interrupting plan
I used to hide all day
Escaping problems that pursued
Leaving behind obstacles in my way
I am the one surroundings exclude
There is no shortcut to happiness
On this earth tread upon
We pass on a great big mess
To bury after you're gone
I will claw through tunnels
Until I find rightful place
Help you with your struggles
Cradled in my embrace
Until my wick rekindles yours
Reanimates you
Makes heart pound
Will crawl through soil and explore
Dig you out from the ground
The tomb intended for me instead
Buried you to save my soul
To end madness in my head
Dying
Thoughts swallowing whole
I walk this road of ruptured dreams
Softness fading from fingertips
Savoring warm remnants of bright sunbeams
Light out of my grasp slowly slips
