Torn and Frayed

All that I did I will never forget
In years I have polluted my heart;
Never in time, I did regret
In years I have polluted my heart
My difficulties never seem away;
Wishing and willing to quickly depart.

My difficulties never seem away
I don't concern myself with crying;
For I shall dance until I go astray.
I don't concern myself with crying
What happened yesterday is today;
Knowing time is for dying. 

What happened yesterday is today
I'll rest long enough when I die;
Death surely brings on total decay.
I'll rest long enough when I die;
But before that, I like to laugh and sigh.
