My Own Death

You think you're safe

(When you're living in your simple fishbowl life)

But I'm closer

(I am closer than you think)

I, the keeper of your time, or what is left of it

I've counted your every second since you first entered this world

I like to sit beside you (sit beside you)

Listen to your heart and thoughts (your heart and thoughts)

You always think so much

Yet you do so very little (you do nothing, you do nothing)

You believe you are the one that I have forgotten (I have not)

I know you and I will never leave you

Why do you always wait until it's too late? (Too late)

You want to know why I am here

And where I'm taking you (my own death)

I observe how well you spend your limited seconds of life

And I'm afraid to say that you don't really use them (use them well)

You misuse loved ones (misuse loved one)

But once you stop breathing (stop breating)

You all go back to the same thought

And it makes you heavy to carry

You believe you are the one that I have forgotten (I have not)

I know you and I will never leave you

Why do you always wait until it's too late? (Too late)

You want to know why I am here

And where I'm taking you (my own death)

My own death

I hope they know how much I cared about them

It's my own death

How much I cared in the court of my heart

My own death

And you dare to say that I'm the mystical one?

It's my own death

When it's you that always waits until it's too late

You believe you are the one that I have forgotten (I have not)

I know you and I will never leave you

Why do you always wait until it's too late? (Too late)

You want to know why I am here

And where I'm taking you (my own death)

You think you are safe (but I'm closer than you think)

You think you are safe (in your own life)
