On your mark Get set Go! One foot in front of the other How many years could I stay in front How long could I stay first In this foot race with death Chasing breathes Wanting to slow down But either way It seemed death stayed ahead Got a tattoo to remind myself Death will always win I'm just taking detours Visiting villages of my memories I'm racing through my own life And these seven seconds Brought more joy then all my life held Through all the sorrow I still saw smiling faces calling me Into an oblivion Waiting to face my guilt and shame
