I Am Ready

I am ready

The time is drawing near
My body pulsing with fear

I've ordered my meal, I know it's my last
Suddenly the years in that box, have gone so fast

I am ready

It's cold in here, as they peer through the glass
My cold heart for show
Lived my life behind a mask

I am ready

It is now time, poison entering my veins
My crimes and victims
Are all of me that remains
