Nothing Else Matters

I'm dyeing. I don't care.  I'm laughing, crying, lying , flying down I come going 
straight towards the chambers of hell.  No expression upon my melancholy face.
 Dust and dreams, fire and blue skies, these things don't mean a thing to me.
 Freedom, slavery. These things seem the same to me. Falling tears burning 
holes in the earth. Death all around me, death inside me. Death, Death, Death.  
The only word that I can relate to.  Nothing else matters in the arrogance of my 
world. Burning flames sindging my skin. Heart beats all around me, bloody 
laughter.  Untrue words are spoken by the souls that inhabit this place. A dark 
shadow approaches me. He whispers these words in my ear, " Death is merely 
a state of mind, would you like to join me and my friends on a permanent 
vacation?" " First and last stop a dark hot tropical island, unknown territory to the 
mortals walking among the earth."   I look right through  the black glow, all I see 
is evil.  I'm in hell about to be swallowed by blackness for all eternity. The black 
figure asks would you like to leave or stay. This is your final answer!  Naively I say 
I'll stay. The jaws of death swallow me whole. Eternal blackness. Now I cannot 
leave I must stay and dwell forever. Nobody to run through the pits of hell to save 
me.  Forever death, forever hell, forever sadness. Goodbye light,Goodbye 
happiness, Goodbye heaven.
