i think I want to go to sleep. Drifting, Drifting, Beautifly. Softly. Like nobody would even wake me again. Like I would never wake again. That's what I want. I beg you. Drift me to sleep, And never wake me. Never. To fly away, Slowly, Softly, Just bouncing on the waves of time That's what I want. I don't think they can feel anymore. I think they've come too far for that. I guess I'll never know, because today, today is the day I drift myself off and never wake. I like to think that I might be remembered for something other than this. That I might be remembered for my art. Or the way I smiled at the birds. But I know they won't remember. They'll just say they're sorry. They'll just say they wished they'd done something. But that's a lie. I'd rather just drift away then believe that. I pray to drift me away softly, Boucing on the riverbed. I hope nobody ever finds me, I don't want to be found. I want to be hidden away in the folds of the earth, to stay buried and blanketed by the world. Without a distrupion in sight, I want to lay, covered by sound and time. But I can't want anymore. And I won't want anymore. It's time to do. I think I want it to be beautiful. I want to jump off a cliff, and for that one moment, to be suspended in time, freefalling but really not falling at all. Soaring. Above it all, Above emotion and conciousness. I just want to float in time, So they all forget about me. So I can stay forever blanketed in the world's folds. Just me, and whatever is on the other side. Just promise you won't forget me. Promise.
