I am a man.
I am self-aware.
And everywhere I go.
Youre always right there with me.

I flirted with you all my life.
Even kissed you once or twice.
And to this day, I swear it was nice,
But clearly I was not ready.

When you touched a friend of mine,
I thought I would lose my mind.
But I found out with time that really, I was not ready.

Oh death. Oh death. Oh death. Really Im not ready.

Oh death, you hector me,
And decimate those dear to me.
You tease me with your sweet relief.
Youre cruel and you are constant.

When my mom was cancer-sick.
She fought but didnt succumb to it.
But you made her beg for it.
Lord Jesus please, Im ready.

Oh death. Oh death. Oh death.
Really Im not ready.

Oh death. Oh death. Oh death.
Now, clearly Im not ready.
