She goes through life fearless… not afraid to die
Because nobody seems to make it out alive
24 more hours… it’s almost surreal
24 more hours… her bones revealed
She has nothing to mislay… all is at steak
Value lessens when longevity is erased
The pitcher of water… the man by the lake
She pursued him toward her foreseeable fate
Crystal incrusted displays of status
Ignoring her soul… corrupted and callous
Monetary supplements for cosmetic remedies
Satanic angels sing marvelous melodies
Her 24 hours have come to an end
A malnourished soul is hard to mend
Her time has come… her body is slain
I present her soul… the only remains
