about

Written in 2011. At the time I had never experienced death in my life. It visited thrice soon after.

lyrics

Black top shined up car drives down a road going so low.
Something looks familiar but i can't be quite sure.
I've been told that when someone's body goes.
They will be followed in this same way down some other road.
Like this ...

Be scared
Should I get straight? Oh my.
What is inside I just want to do deny.
I am beggin, pleading, runnin and screamin.
Inside my mind if I stay inside the lines,
oh, it's death, that I can defy.

(Chorus)
Grim reaper,
we've never met.
Gate keeper
I don't want to yet.


I hold my breath as I pass the land of the dead,
with no concept of what it means to do die.
If those tombstones are just headboards for the sleeping, then,
why, oh, why are those black robed weeping?

(Bridge)
I hide and hide and I wait!
I will never make the mistake
of being bad like a child again.
Because I'm afraid of him.
I'm afraid of him,
I lie and I wait,
I will never make a mistake, no!
Of being bad, like child!
