Playing Death

posted 4/11/07 by Lola

 

There is something in my soul

That is going by

Burning all my greatest memories.

 

It’s burning up my childhood

It’s burning up my love for people.

 

And worse yet, it’s burning my family

Now I know it’s death.

 

He’s playing with my mind

He won’t stop until he’s satisfied.

 

There’s nothing wrong with my mind

I’m falling in love

With the wrong guy.

 

That guy is death.
