Well I’ve peered over the edge before I’ve watched the world below
and today it seems like somewhere I should definitely go
so I took a train ride to the coast my mission was implicit
I knew that I could not return I only bought a single ticket
seize the day
own the moment
don’t let fate be your opponent
well it’s the strangest feeling knowing that when I disembark
destiny’s mine for the final time so let the countdown start
I pinned a conflicted farewell note to someone’s memorial bench
but I’m not leaving these shoes, no, they cost me six weeks’ rent
seize the day
own the moment
don’t let fate be your opponent
death will do for now
death will do for now
tomorrow may hold sweeter sorrows but death will do for now
the future is a fraying suture that I can do without
death will do for now
they told me time and time again
the morning light might ease my pain
but dear, the only way is down
death will do for now
why just decay
your thunder stolen
find a place deep in the ocean
death will do for now
death will do for now
tomorrow may hold sweeter sorrows but death will do for now
there is no chapter called ‘hereafter’ I’ve used up my word count
death will do for now…
