Written December 2, 2015 It's about not fearing death when the time does come and hoping that there is somehow a higher power up there whether you believe in it or not. And in my case if it does turn out that there is I will be flat out rejected.
lyrics
So hard waking up today
Even harder than yesterday
A changing world so dark & gray
So little reason for me to stay
Don’t know how much more I can take
With the same old stupid, foolish mistakes
Vile moods fuel my soul with hate
They’re always there when I’m awake
Chorus
Some might wonder if I feel fear
Not so much now the end is near
If I got down on my knees to pray
I’d only fall into a waiting grave
This tortured life was never saved
When help came it came too late
Within these walls so second rate
If you were me would you escape?
I see demise, as it appears
Not to panic; no need for tears
I was thankful, you seemed sincere
Would you miss me if I disappear?
Chorus
Now I stand at an open gate
It’s Death my friend, who lays in wait
Takes away that rusted chain
So, I’ll never feel this way again
Chorus
