Every Second
Every second I’ m alive Death is just around the corner Behind that tempting door And every time I want it to end I turn around Sliding my hand across its smooth knob
1. But my will is weak
And my wishful mind is too consistent So I fall back, away from the door
1. To keep walking on my weary legs
While it follows my darkening shadow.
Then the night shifts in place. It’ s what I’ ve waited for all day And that door fades away Unable to find my camouflaged shadow. I crawl on my bed Letting my eyes close and repress the world And now, life is the least of my worries
