it’s easy to sleep when you’re dead

give them kisses or see them smile at you

but you give up your whole life’s work

and never can reverse the bad things that you did

while alive you still have hope

and you know for sure if it’s better , if it’s better , if it’s better

smell the flowers of spring , or drink cider in the fall

you get to spend eternity thinking about your life
