Death Is Hard To Fear
It is hard to fear death, when you have already died
OD'd I have, the reason why is what I deny
I am a man who once hated everything he would become
And now I am a man who hates everything he once was
Flews I have to many, mistakes a have a ton
But killing a man and watching him die wasn't one
Sadness I felt, pity there was none
For I was one who really died when I shot the gun
Judge me as if you know the reason why
Punish me and you will not see me cry
I have no feelings for you to hurt
No heart for you to break
They is no life here for you to destroy
I have already done it to myself, you are to later
I have no stories with happy endings
Only sad ones to be told
I am a young man
Who feels a million years old
