    When I die,
    fuck it,
    go on,
    send me to hell.

    Cuz vice is the cost of pleasure,
    that ain't found where angels dwell
    Picture me
    frolic in heaven with the prudes and goodies
    can you believe that shit?
    no more blunts, beers or fat booties.

    God would even have me on those ten commandments,
    no sin and no play,
    just prayer and worship.

    No more earthly bonds and worries
    lounging in paradise,
    what's that worth?
    I can't do me so fuck eternal life.

    Early on was taught life's pursuit of profit
    became a hopeless victim of the punch clock promise.
    the dreary routine,
    the mundane motions
    mama should have spared us both and got a damn abortion.

    Life just seemed so bright
    during the days when you were younger
    grown a little older
    no I sit forlorn and wonder,
    I wonder if I died,
    if anyone would cry,
    I've affected nothing so I can't imagine why.

    So should I,
    jump off a bridge,
    end all this bullshit?
    Put the "9"
    up to my dome
    and get this done quick.

    But wait
    there's all that red
    maybe instead
    I'll skip the mess
    I see the cabinet to my left.

    The reapers scythe is sharpened
    my thread found by the fates
    So I open up the box
    and remove the plastic case.

    I can't continue living on in this pathetic state
    3 twists
    2 gulps
    …..
    my last headache.
