DRAGON HEART.

I don’t understand why everyone’s afraid to die

It’s engraved in our soul, and it shouldn’t be feared

I know I’m ready to leave whenever I’m told,

whether it be tomorrow or in five years

I really have nothing left to abandon here

I’m terrified of growing old.

There’s nothing left but to play board games while the clock ticks till your casket

I really never wanted a family neither

I’m scared I could never commit to a wife and a child

I’m even more fearful I’ll turn into my dad

I want to die young. I know I’ve been created to do so.

All I want is a stadium of people singing the riff of the song I wrote,

while I dance and overdose on stage.

Then I can finally leave.

I don’t want a funeral, I know I don’t deserve one (genuinely)

I’m aware people will move on, which I hope they do

I’ve told everyone there’s no escape from the pain I’ve been dealing with

I’ve mapped out every possible response, and every possible answer

I’m trapped. I’m locked in chains.

People around me are telling me to hold on, or it’ll get better

I know it won’t, I’ve been in tears since I was a child

I know I’m cursed. And I’m at peace with it.

There’s no way I can break the spell,

unless I break myself first

I’m causing pain to others whenever I try to resist

I’ve been chosen to be imprisoned by it because I deserve to be so for my crimes

I know that now.
