Long lost traveler-
\nwhere have you been?
\nWhat are the lessons
\nyou’ve learned?
\nWho have you met
\nalong the way?<\/p>\n
There’s been a moment
\nor two-
\nor more
\nWhere I thought I’d
\ncash it all in
\nleave- Not come back
\nWhat would it be for?<\/p>\n
I’m sitting here in a
\nprison of my own making
\nnothing else seemed ok<\/p>\n
Can I cash it in?
\njust for one night
\ndie- have no regrets
\nsee what the other side
\nhas to offer.<\/p>\n
Well hello there Death
\nWhat have you to offer?
\na smooth comfortable ride
\nor a walk on the wild side
\nwhere we going first?<\/p>\n
I’ve never seen someone
\ndie before-
\nIt’s always been-
\none second you’re here, the next
\nno one’s home<\/p>\n
time can’t be turned back-
\nbe easy if you could-
\ndo so many things over
\ntil you got them right<\/p>\n
Where we going next friend
\nto revisit old forgotten memories
\nbetter left alone?<\/p>\n
Keep knocking on the devil’s door
\nlong enough, eventually he’s
\ngonna answer you
\ncan you handle that?<\/p>\n
Regrets had
\ndecisions made
\nroads taken-
\nor not<\/p>\n
