raped by the invading presence of morality
i am faced with a choice: do i act on beliefs?
or, should temptation arise, do i succumb to simplicity?
go back on it all and reform into hypocrisy
last night i cried as soon as i realized
that, be there a heaven or not, we're all going to die
is to die really to sleep? or is it something much worse?
when you die does your soul slip away from the corpse?
what if death is just living outside of yourself
people witness your burial, you witness everyone else
but no connection can be made in between
and you're left standing alone--unheard; unseen
what's heaven if you can't feel relief in death
what's heaven if lung cancer takes away your breath
what's heaven if you meet up with the ones you loved
but love is not an option because the bullet in the gun
was the reason that you died
the reason why inside
the bullet in your heart doesn't lie, even though you try
does consequence meet you in the elevator up
or does it really not matter if you died or gave it up
being tired of living or trying hard to survive
doesn't matter when the option of living isn't alive |
