We're All Gonna Die (Born To Die Revisited)

We're All Gonna Die (Born To Die Revisited)

By: Tyler Ross

Creeping around the corner

I see death,

distorted minds

with no order, turning to chaos

I turn a cold shoulder

as I paint outside your lines.

It’s hard for positivity to set

with neglect

I live within these walls

can’t be settled as of yet.

Closed blinds against judgmental times

I pen words as a release

to find ultimate peace inside my mind.

I seem to pay for having respect,

pushing for a steady check.

Ready to die,

there’s no fear for I choose to accept.

We’re all born to die.

During such turbulent times,

I smile with the rest before fear interrupts my mind.

We’re all born to die.

Everyone for themselves.

it’s money over a life of natural wealth.

We’re all born to die.

So many have left their hearts on the shelf

never questioning the disconnect between themselves.

We’re all gonna die.

Time for peace from a world lacking empathy.

Turn cold 
to a world that continues to bury the good-hearted humanity. 

We’re all born to die.

My life won’t flash before my eyes.

I kiss my mom, brother and my dad goodbye

We’re all born to die.

As the darkness seeps,

no light will show

when they bury me 

six feet deep.
