Being Keeps On Being

Fortune favors the wealthy,

Illness favors the sick.

Darkness favors the darkness

But which darkness do you pick?

Living wants to live,

But the reaper wants it too.

Lost was never lost

And the old was never new.

Knives long for the wrists,

Pills want to be swallowed.

The bullet wants the brain

Because the brain wants to be hollowed

Bleeding, keeps on bleeding,

'Cause the blood wants to be red.

Something special's missing

When the life wants to be dead.
