Where I Won’t Die

So long little humdrum world
The blue dot that I see
Disappears before me

Farewell little-known cherry tree
For we won’t meet again
Until final victory

Goodbye baby doll
I’ll sing you a song of love
And then you’ll fall asleep
While I go

My body will rot
In soil it will perish
The bugs will feed on my bones and my marrow

I can’t pretend that life is kind
But I can say it’s been fulfilling
And I won’t cry
When I say goodbye

What things might I have said
I’ll never say now

What voices caged in my head
I could have let out to fly

What of this little humdrum world
And my piece of humdrum sky
What of the times that I lived in lies

You find at the end
It matters little when
You pass on
Yes it’s true, you will pass on

And I suppose it’s not too useful to consider
The things that could make you bitter
But I can’t help my ways
I can’t help the crimes that my mind perpetrates

I just want to visualize
The glorious empire of the skies
That I will fly into if I truly merit such recognition
But I hope so

But I dream inside that I’ll be verified by pearly gates and Peter’s Key to endless night
It’s night that I wish for
It’s night that won’t perish anymore
Eternal sleeping though still more alive
I can’t ever cry at the thought of being there
In the sky
Way up high
That’s where I won’t die.
