Memento Mori

So, this is it... We had good times together, had to admit But it's just, these things don't last forever And you know... Sometimes you can't keep a good thing going So it's come to this... I've reached the end And all it took was self-destruction for me to find zen Funny thing is, I don't know where'll I end up Death is still a mystery and my fear is crazy nuts Still I have to do this and I'm hoping it'll be better On the other side, where I can finally get the... Peace and tranquility that I've been looking for And hope that I can get a new life and more Hoping that I don't remember my past existance Get a new name and family, all of that shit Maybe live in a time where things were different Will it be better? All I can do is wish As I step ever closer towards the bright light I know this world is hopeless, I know about my life I've been taught that life is about being alive But now I know life begins when you truly die I may not be around much longer... But if you have a head, and you see me... Then you at least have memories of me inside of your head... If those are there, than I shall live on inside of you It was like destiny... For me to face myself Looking at the mirror, questioning my mental health Figuring out if I'm truly looking at myself I point a finger at the miror and say you need help And then I look closely with my eyes wide open I punch the mirror very hard, now it's cracked and broken Look down at my fist and see it's very bloody Then I look at myself and realize I'm the dummy The devil's inside me and he's always stalkin' Always taking advantage, I wish I could stop him Whenever I slip up, he takes control And he ruins my life, don't you think I know... I'm tired of being reminded of it's persistance I'm tired of being reminded of my existance Only option for me is to just fade away I don't have to play the game that they all play Look, this world is done with me man You know, this world is done... Yeah, what am I supposed to do in a world that doesn't want me? Yeah, I have to like leave, yeah you know just leave I know you're crying but I have to leave, just let me leave I understand I have to do this... I ain't scared I know my enemies will love this... I don't care Life is short... and only they can decide Whether you are influential in this game called life I tried to take control, now that was a mistake No matter what you really do, you can't control fate All the people you'll meet, all the things that you'll do You already know who you are, figuring it out is up to you There's the good times... and there's the bad You can only move forward, you can't go back The past is written, present is now, future unknown It's up to you to make the decisions on your own And I learned the hard way, now I gotta take action The moments been building up and this is the reaction I killed the old me, now I truly have a grasp Of my direction. My entire life... it's a lesson
