Closer to My Death


The closer I get to the center
I am still on the needle's eye
I donn't really mean to offend her
I'm the one that's going to die

I'm going to die in a little while
So give yourself a break from me
I've lived life out - I'll die with a smile
Like jumping into the deep blue sea

There is only a few more pages
Left to be written in my books
They'll rot with the other traces
Of the way my final corpse looks

I am the silo now - I'm the river
Flowing into society
I am still alive? How? You delivered
But will you die with me?
I don't think so

Color my pages like they're me
Bleed on my words, on them, cry
Sit back on all of your honesty
Hope that I do die when I say I'm gonna die
