On my right Death stands On my left Every fear I've ever known
I've already died Faced that fear I grab Death's hand And shake it, so bony and fragile
He gives a nod I walk up to an ex-lover The only one who beat me I shake his hand as well
I look back to Death He gestures to the 3 beings in front of me Darkness, clowns, and spiders
I lend a smile and a hug For those fears are long gone They evaporate As another 5 appear
Snakes, ghosts, my old dog A kiss on the head for each Loneliness and heights A peck on the cheek
Only 3 remain They approach me slowly Life, Hatred and Love A long stare at first
I then get close And have a forceful group hug I return to Death "Are you ready?" His hoarse voice asks
"Yes." We disappear into the sky No more fears Since I've no more life
