Closed

Bottled up, ready for what’s to come,
Something’s got to give-
Feelings have become too numb.
Time to decide: Do I live?

I’ve pushed luck too far,
Rolled the dice one too many times,
Driven this life too far,
Time to pay for the crimes.

I’ve cut the ties that bind,
Pushed my life away,
I’ve left “me” behind-
I’ve got nothin’ left to say.

I’ve lived my life my own way,
Driven in the fast lane,
Looking no further than today,
Pushing away the pain.

Now I stand ready,
Nothing to do but sigh.
The light I no longer see-
The time has come to say: goodbye
