When you come to reap

When my time comes,
When my days are done,
Is it you I'll see coming for me,
As blinding as the sun?

By then, you know, I'll be happy.
Death, for me, will be a relief.
Please, just don't be grim when you come,
When you come to reap.

Great Strides

You will walk with great strides upon the earth,

And with every step you'll change the world.

Let me be

Those that cannot be the people that they want to be,

Corrupt all those around them so that they feel less lonely.
It's all that  I can do to keep my head and my heart free,

To stop you dragging me away from who I want to be.
Don't dare try it again or you won't like what you see,

As I'll get all defensive and in my mind I'll break your knees.
Can't you just be happy, with you as you and me as me?

Or if you just can't manage that, fuck off and let me be.
