After the Fall
How could I?
Why should I?
Or better yet
Why shouldn't I?
Who are you
To tell me I shouldn't
Lie?
Lie!
Lie
To yourself again John
Do yourself
Some good and die
I
I
I
Know that I couldn't die
Even if I wanted to
Because I've wanted to
Attempted to
Failed, then
Woken up
More tempted to
And that was just this morning
Just imagine if it isn't death
What it is I'm meant to do
