From the beginning we were born to die. There is no starting over. There are no second chances. With death carved on our skin how could we live a normal life?
You could run but you'll one day run out of breath. It's just a game. You hide your pain and sorrow. Save it for another day when everything just falls apart and you can't pick it up.
Medicine and alcohol keeps you awake As you hunt your demons and monsters. You could choose to die but then this world would fall apart. You give others that second chance, you give them time to run and escape while you slaughter their monsters, and **** their demons instead.
You've got blood on your hands and a soldier's heart. Your brain is beautiful just corrupted. You smile to stay strong and your humor hides your internal scars.
In the end you'll look back on your youth and notice you died a long time ago. You never had the chance to be happy. You'll never know the feeling of growing old with your lover because all your lovers are either buried below your feet, or somewhere up in the sky with the stars. It's not that far, one day you'll be with them. Then, you'll finally be able to rest your tired hands.
