Shut down
Blackness, death its right around the corner.
One last breath until you're a goner.
You live a life that isn't that pleasing,
and it's all coming back to get you.
Breath deep, breath hard.
This is your ending.
It's the last chance to say that your sorry.
If not, then the blade is coming down.
You will be history.
So before I shut you down,
tell me the truth.
Why did you ruin my life slowly?
