Die By Music
By Michael James Mead

I’d like to die by drowning in music,
And where I exist, I would cease to exist.
And if I could breathe under the sea,
I would stay where no one can find me.
I like to drive the highway all night,
never stay and never arrive.

I’d like to die rich and famous,
And when I go, they’ll say "what a tragedy".
And if I could fly like an angel,
fly so high they'll never catch me.
I like to sit and stare at the moon,
it's never too late and it's never too soon.

If I could bleed until I can see
through these lies called reality
If I could burn until I am sure
the pain we feel is not really real
If I could freeze in frozen memories
of all the things that I wanted to be
If I could drown, I’ll hang my head down
fade to grey as my life fades away
