Live!

The first time I died it was painful
The dirt filled my lungs and my joints slowly stiffened
The next time not nearly so memorable
Although still I recall that the time wasn't pleasant
At this point it's all second nature
I can numb myself right and just glide through it all
At this point I'm no more complainer
I can die anytime and get back on ball like it's nothing

First kill the senses
One at a time
Start with the smell
It's the easiest kind
Kill off the taste next
Just after the nose
Not easy to taste
When you can't smell a rose
Now go for your touch
A bit harder but still
If your life is in trouble
Won't take that much will
To kill off the sounds
Now we're getting somewhere
Almost totally numb
Just a bit more to pare down
The eyes are the hardest
To look but not see
Having come all this far though
Just listen to me
You can stop all the input
And live in a shell
Just remember it's not real
Man made living hell!!!!!

STOP! That's no way to live and surely no way to die
STOP! All you really have to do is realize
YOU! You are the one the everything
YOU! You make your own reality, so make it great!
