Have You Met Your End

I'm scared... I'm not prepared... to meet my end... to drift into the river's bend... I'm not prepared... people start to stare... people don’t seem to care If I live or die If I stay on ground or fly I see my end...unwind...unwind...and it makes me blind... The tears that are clogging up my eyes They’re feeding me lies…and the thoughts whisper cries I'm treasure...never to be found Decaying in the ground Forever... I'm sorry...I'd never Mention suicide again to you... Don't be blue...though you get the clue I'm not prepared... people start to stare... people don’t seem to care If I live or die If I stay on ground or fly I see my past…unwind…unwind…now, I’m blind But I see it in my mind’s eye I'm not prepared... people start to stare... people don’t seem to care If I live or die… Live or die… Live or die… But I’ll try… To live and make you feel happy ‘Cause I, alone, am feeling needy… Greedy…shady… I'm not prepared... people start to stare... people don’t seem to care If I live or die… I’m ready to meet my end… The waters brew…and my fate blends In with the gloomy, despairing river's blissful waves The sky swarms above me…I want to see you Again…but you’ve met your end I'm not prepared... people start to stare... people don’t seem to care If I live or die… I STAYED strong…Where do you belong? Your life ended like a shimmering star You ended your tune of delight…I can’t hear your song Repeat it again and again in my ears… You left me with an everlasting scar I'm not prepared... people start to stare... people don’t seem to care If I live or die… I want to die…just let me fly And reach to heaven’s height But, I’d feel guilt and contrite I'm not scared (of your absence)... people start to stare...(and I feel dense) people don’t seem to care (I can’t bear) If I live or die…(the thought of you, I won’t deny…I’m just trying to play fair) In my heart… You broke it apart… It breaks my heart To see you die and depart From His light Have you met your end Around or near the river's bend? Your heart breaks instead of bends You still have some errands To run... You have the ability to run... Just run... And don't run off somewhere far away...or I'll consider you officially "gone" But, first: get your duties done And then...we can welcome the sun Don't shoot yourself with a gun... Put it down and run WITH ME! *smile*
