I found myself next to Death's door
I found myself next to Death's door
And yet I yearned to breathe again
I saw that death was waiting for
The day that we would meet again
A second chance! I strove to live
In every way that I had dreamed
With every breath I had to give
I sought to learn what life could mean
I dreamed of love like such a fool
A wife, a home, a kid or two
I forgot life is such a jewel
It's too bad it's too short for you
So I found myself at Death's door
And yet I yearned to breathe again
I Yearn for life and all it's for
But Death won't let me leave again

I have no reason for being scared to die.
Pointless is this place that I take up
by Ashley Grant
Light as a feather
Stiff as a log,
Darkness swarms in on the unsuspecting form,
The pain this body feels is swiftly
