font-size: 10pt; color: #800000;\"> I&#8217;m not afraid of death but of oblivion<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #800000;\"> It&#8217;s good, what you&#8217;ve done<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #800000;\"> So they retain something of you<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #800000;\"> But overall, not what you were like<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #800000;\"> Moreover, I don&#8217;t have luck<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #800000;\"> So, it&#8217;s fortunate I&#8217;m not dreaming of getting rich<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #800000;\"> Because I will go without, and, unaware<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #800000;\"> I will handle stacks, with my bad luck<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #800000;\"> You see why I would like to be a pig, lion, or man, and<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #800000;\"> Live without regret<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #800000;\"> Or be dead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #800000;\">dimdamdam 10x<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;

font-size: 10pt; color: #800000;\"> Always elsewhere, I am getting nowhere<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #800000;\"> Even my thoughts are running, outdoing each other<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #800000;\"> Under the moon they have little desire to see me there<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #800000;\"> And I often return there so they will rejoin me<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #800000;\"> Instead of passing the time in sustaining myself<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #800000;\"> I run away, think before dying<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;
