Living death

I go down now, thinking about my life
Thinking about how it could not suffice
My greed, my boundless wants 
and all of my empty flaunts.

As the endless sea pulls me down
I wonder upon my death, will anyone break down?
Were my relations honest or were they false?
I believe I'll never know, as death and I perform a waltz.

I cannot tell what waits ahead of me
but I hope it's peace and serenity.
