On Life and Death
Before you get too close…
Listen to the sound of the clock
Every part of me is alive
You need…
Before you get too close…
Go ahead and scream
Scratch at the surface
Go ahead and bleed
Find your souls true purpose
Realize that nothing is…
But suddenly can be
Before you get too close…
Take a long look
Stare at the world about you
Take a deep breathe
Catch a falling leaf
Before you get to close
Live.
Tell me what it felt like…
Tell me what to need is like
