Deathwish
Death-- why do you plague me so?
What is it I'm hearing?
All the time: Death by car, Death by committing,
Death by fire, Death by calling. It's just death.
you're in my dreams, my waking day, you just
don't seem to go away.
I stare and say you have to leave me for another day.
I have to finish what I'm here to do. I can't take the chance and go with you. Do you not understand, I can't go with you. I have not finish what I'm here to do. You plague me night and plague me day.
So, what am I to say-- I can't go with you till I've finished my way. I will wait until my time is clear.
Until then, until then...
