I like the story that when I die
The one who went before will greet me
When I go what will welcome me?
I don't want to know just yet
Concrete jungles shadows creep neon glare where spirits sleep
Lost in the darkness fading trace void's cold embrace empty space
City's roar a deafening boom gunlight flashes pierce the gloom
Desperate gamble a fatal breath echoes of blame face my death
Hot wind whispers chills my fear time suspended crystal clear
Barrel's cold touch an empty shell awakened to a living hell
I like the story that when I die
The one who went before will greet me
When I go what will welcome me?
I don't want to know just yet
Choices wrong a painful snare regret's echoes fill the air
Dug a deep hole now trapped within can't escape no way to win
Regret consumes a bitter pill blame and anger never still
Heart in pieces shattered and torn lost and lonely world forlorn
Time stands still a frozen frame endless sorrow burning flame
Choices haunt me night and day despair's grip won't fade away
I like the story that when I die
The one who went before will greet me
When I go what will welcome me?
I don't want to know just yet
At the end of the path I've tread
Not knowing what lies in the dread
The time I've spent the choices I've bent
The scars I've earned in my past I'm burned
If I can't change what's gone
I'll find meaning in the dawn
In regret each step I've made
I hope a mark will shine never fade
Learn from the path avoid the trap
Let regret not be a gap that slaps
I fade into darkness my blame is clear
May your light shine where mine could not appear
May your light shine where mine could not appear
I like the story that when I die
The one who went before will greet me
When I go what will welcome me?
I don't want to know just yet
