**** As I grow older, I'll die young.
**** I'll walk the earth till,
**** My legs go numb.
**** As I sit and wait, my heart will chase.
**** That in which my tongue tastes.
I'll live again, and start anew.
Fall until my knees are black and blue.
Rock the motions of emotions.
I'll never waste,
Such bittersweet moment in ending days.
**** I'll strive to be good.
**** I'll strive to be bad.
**** I'll die knowing I gave it all I had.
But what I won't admit,
Is the pain that sits
Under my left breast, it burns with this.
The fact I'll die old, I'll live young
I'll be the daughter, mother, sister-- I've won.
**** All of my fears will go unspoken.
**** But I'll close my eyes a vessel that's broken.
