Before I Die

Focus on the one thing that matters most
Make a stand, make a shout
Look to me for everything
Look to me for nothing

One minute I'm the hailed victor
The next I'm a wasted loser
Spend your time with me
There is nothing here you can be

Inhale
Exhale
Prepare yourself for the gale
And prepare to sail
Right from these minds

You push and you pull
Now you're asking a toll
How can I explain
When you complain
This isn't what I wanted
Why should I even have tried?

Tie me to a chair
Throw me down some stairs
I'll never forget your promise
I know your every process
Full of life and happiness
Now I'm stuffed with emptiness
Like your pet squirrel
Everything likes to whirl
When you're around
Everything comes unwound

Why do you say I'm everything?
But think I'm absolutely nothing?
Tell me, face to face
That I've fallen from your grace
Don't need to tell me twice
Just roll your dice

Why do I feel like nothing?
When I'm full of everything?
It's funny how emotions are sought
When all the battles are done and fought
At least I can say I lived life
