I been walking in the wood
Thinkin life ain’t so good
Put a gun to my head
Am I ready for the end?
Forever just to sleep
But that seems kinda cheap
Avoid all life’s troubles
They vanish like bubbles
But what’s at the end?
It could be bad again
Fear keeps every man
From kickin the can
Could be worse than life
Sharp pain like a knife
So here I still stand
With my death unplanned
