I never thought it would end like this.
It was meant to be transient,
This deadly kiss.
The first new sensation
I ever would feel
Turns out it's the last,
And far, far too real.
Oh, how they laughed
When I told them my mission
Permanent youth
Was to be my condition
When I stepped through the door
I felt strangely brave
But then I was told
My wishes were insanity's rave.
When I insisted
My intentions were pure
They nodded, smiled
And my future assured
"Come, follow me
Into the back room"
These were the words
That sealed my doom.
Oh, the time is running
But I can't seem to think.
The pain's breaking through
And I'd sure like a drink
Say, you good sir
With the rapturous eyes
Could you please spare a drop
And be done with these lies?
Ah, now it's time
to look back at my life
This foolish quest,
But never real strife
Frightening stories
First set the stage
In Dracula's castle
The book's torn-out page
And the clock on the wall
I think it strikes four
Just two of them now,
Playing tug-of-war.
I think it's just that
Which keeps me alive
Opposing forces,
Can't take too deep a dive.
And I don't remember
The rest of this tale
There must have been something
About a free ride to Yale
But I left in the night
Forever ran from the light
And I threw my life away
In pursuit of this one…
Endless...
Day.
