I had eyes but failed to see What was precious to me I had ears but failed to hear The words of the ones who were dear I had a tongue but failed to say The thing that I needed to relay I had a heart but failed to feel Anything that could've been real Empty and alone I am here While death draws near Thoughts of the life I could've lived Crashes into what I had believed Can I change before I die Or will I tell yet another lie Will Death set aside his duty For me to enjoy life's new found beauty

While Death Draws Near
I had eyes but failed to see What was precious to me I had ears but failed to hear The words of the ones who were dear I had a tongue but failed to say The thing that I needed to relay I had a heart but failed to feel Anything that could've been real Empty and alone I am here While death draws near Thoughts of the life I could've lived Crashes into what I had believed Can I change before I die Or will I tell yet another lie Will Death set aside his duty For me to enjoy life's new found beauty
