I want to die like Nietzche
Fighting in the street despised by many.
I want to die like Jesus Christ
Speaking of miracles but really telling lies.
I want to die like an unwanted stray
only a bullet left where my body lay.
I want to die like Budd Dwyer
you'll watch me die calling me a liar.
I want to die like Mark Twain
leaving this world in a comet's flame.
But I want to live like me, personally,
to inspire happiness and bravery.
When I die I want everyone to say...
I'm in a better place.
When I die I want everyone to say it was too soon.
Because I know it will be untrue.
