Transcript

And she asked me if death sat next to you in a bar, looked you in the face and the time is up, what would you say? My first question would be, oh, what took you so long? I sent the invitation long ago, you rejected me so many times. Sorry man, one last thing, can we just sit together for a bit, so I can finally have a friend? Please. Oh, I don't mean to make you cry, but when I die, just box me off. I need no headstone, no names, no titles. I'm a piece of shit who will be forgotten anyway. My mind has been a war zone. At least I pray I find peace now. And if I die, no matter what, don't bring me back here. It's dark here.
