How can I bear it any longer? A life wasted, buried in selfish regret Tired of living for that which will pass away The end of the road I tread is death and ashes All I will be is a memory A bitter one at that You laid down your life so I can finally have it That I would not waste Another of these precious moments On this frail and fleeting self Unearth my suffocated will Let me choose the path for which this life was made
