I may plead for death,
I may beg for it.
I may want something horrible,
Burned and scorched,
To befall me.

I may plead for death,
I may beg for it.
I may want something constricting,
Drowning and soaked.
To dive all around me.

I may plead for death,
I may beg for it.
I may want something destructive,
Breaking and ruining,
To come to me.

But in truth,
I do not want to die.
I may plead for it,
But all I really want,
Is for someone to take my hand...

And tell me I can make it.
