DYING DAYS

This is my dying day
or, rather, I should say
that every day we're dying.
So why
do I fear regret
instead of brightly raging
like a ripe supernova?

If I die of old age
write “Pussy” on my tombstone.
But if I go in a blaze
send me off with rabid cheers!

This could be the
Last night we will breathe.
So damn our doubts and
letʼs drink and dance and scream.

Iʼm a vapor in the breeze
or, rather, what I mean is
that greatness hasn't claimed me.
Oh, I want to ignite myself
To become a beacon
in a world thatʼs choked with fog.

I want to be a martyr
for any cause with passion.
Just need to find a target
for my kamikaze heart.

This could be the
Last night we will breathe.
So damn our doubts and
letʼs smoke and kiss and scream.

The past
is only dead ash.
The futureʼs faint smoke.
So I must burn today.

Still, I must admit
this ephemeral existence
it scares the shit
out of me.

If I die of old age
write “Pussy” on my tombstone.
But if I go in a blaze
send me off with rabid cheers!

This could be the
Last night we will breathe.
So damn our doubts and
letʼs fuck and fight and scream.

These could be the
Last words I will speak.
So damn my doubts and
god save my dignity.
