I would let you have it all
Each heartbeat, every breath
In moments like these
When I love myself
In such rare moments as these
You could take it all
Leave me back at square one
With nothing to work with
And nothing to gain
A mountain of a mole hill
I'd want you to soak in this feeling
Let it stain you like dye
Fly it like a flag
Hit the floor drunk with the ecstasy
Bust your head and wind up in the hospital
It's yours for the taking and so much more
If you can only help me know the truth
And ask of me one simple request
"How about not equating death with stopping?"
Please may the fire in my heart that acknowledges truth
Blaze all the brighter in the acceptance of this one
For it is the biggest and best truth one could ever know
The line "How about not equating death with stopping" is by Alanis Morissette from the song "Thank U" taken from her album Supposed Former Infatuation ******. If we could just do that...stop equating death with stopping...can you imagine what we could achieve? How liberating such knowledge is? The eradication of mankind's biggest fear? I'm awestruck.
