rather

may.9.2003

Erase all that I knew,
these thoughts have held me back.
Destroy all that I'd loved,
my mind's about to crack.

Lose the draw you have,
that has made me half a man.
Kill the force that pulls,
like I know you wish you can.

Tell me it was not,
and let me live a lie.
To live and face this pain,
I think I'd rather die.
