One week ago I was untouchable,

Flying so high, I was unreachable.

How did I fall so far from grace?

How did I end up within this place?

One little slip, that's all it takes,

Such a price to pay over little mistakes.

To err is human, is it not?

Why can't such errors just be forgot?

How cruel life is, so unforgiving,

There is no respite, among the living.

Can't face the world, must say goodbye.

I'll be released after I die.
