Death isn’t so bad—

“Death isn’t so bad—

It’s the only thing that keeps me alive

I vowed an eternity

spent staring into your eyes

To tempt fate, who forbids,

I say, ‘No, she won’t close her lids.’

Death isn’t so bad—

For I’d die again and again and again

Plus once more

If I could touch your lips with mine

Or be wedded to you, with time

I’d die again, I’d die.”
