A fluttering heart
And a twisted mind
Replaced thoughts with worries
Because you’re not all mine
You say it’s ok
But I say it’s not
You love is a sickness
That I just caught

And my white purity?
It was stolen from me
Half with my consent
Half from your hypnotizing
All from plastic

Your stupid, fluttering heart
Is killing you everyday
And you say don’t worry
I’ll be ok
And I say
No
You’re dying
Right in front of me
Detreiating faster than me
Growing older faster than me
Living faster than me

You invite me for the ride and
I have to say yes because…
We only have one life to live.

My "friend" told me he is dying a few weeks ago, and this is what came of it.
