Would anybody notice if I left here,
And picked up where I left off?
I've got to know my own motives...
Before I can move forward

Could the answers lie frozen?
In snowy Minnesota?
I don't know what I am doing
Maybe it's too late, and this is all for nothing

But all I need is guidance...
Obscurity and aging are the culprits
It makes us wholly self-defeating
Until the time when we stop breathing

I hope I don't feel this way
For the remainder of my lifetime
Yet another sixty years expire
While I watch myself decay...

I've corrected all my slip-ups
But my mind it still won't shut up
And let me get some shut eye
Since the truth is still beyond me

I know I've got to make it
If only for the sake of saying it can be done
I want to start up yet again
Too bad there's nowhere left to run...

I hope I don't feel this way
For the remainder of my lifetime
Yet another sixty years expire
While I watch myself decay...

It's October 27th, 2006
Mark your calendars boldly
For an anniversary of acceptance
We all die alone, and there's nothing more to life...

Well I don't want to die...
I'm still scared of death...
No I don't want to die...
I'm still scared of death...

Well I don't want to die...
I'm still scared of death...
No I don't want to die...
I'm still scared of death...

I hope I don't feel this way
For the remainder of my lifetime
Yet another sixty years expire
While I watch myself decay...
