If I die don't
tell them

They will know already

Because my desicions have
shown em'

Desicions that i took slow an steady

They have already tied me down to get me sane

It's always too late to put out the flame

okay, i dont want this to sound rude so i'll say this first:i love depressing pessimistic stuff. with that being said, i love the last line. its like the most negative depressing "give up and die " thing i've ever heard. i love it. 5 stars captain.oh, i like the whole thing too. do your dance.

you have the penstrokes of a poetry master-someone who can give us a few sentences of meaning instead of monologues of pure nothingness....5 stars captain. and the last line is very nice.
