Staring death in the face For a second Took me apart For a moment And I stopped And I breathed And I realised just how much I don’t want to go Not anymore I didn’t breathe straight away Actually First came the butterflies (but they weren’t of excitement) Maybe they were moths And I shook Like a brown paper bag You can throw away Because nothing happens After that I went and Got on my train I went on a protest march For what I care about Because I want to make a difference

-upon realising my mortality
Staring death in the face For a second Took me apart For a moment And I stopped And I breathed And I realised just how much I don’t want to go Not anymore I didn’t breathe straight away Actually First came the butterflies (but they weren’t of excitement) Maybe they were moths And I shook Like a brown paper bag You can throw away Because nothing happens After that I went and Got on my train I went on a protest march For what I care about Because I want to make a difference
