I want to go down in a blaze

Not sitting in some mindless haze

I pen down truth for all to wear

It is not dying that I fear

It is silence within my mind

The lonely moments that I find

Bound by the cords too strong to shear

It is not dying that I fear

And when I linger near the edge

All my hopes and dreams neatly wedged

I shout this out to all who hear

It is not dying that I fear

I want to go down in a blaze

It is not dying that I fear
