Zero Temperance

To be alive is to be awake And I've barely opened my eyes Now torn from existence at the yore of my day So many stories left to tell I erupted into life against all odds Yet the thirst for it I could not quench My desires they brought me out here To do nothing more but to witness... the end So scatter my ashes across the wildest of oceans For I was to see it all Having been born with zero temperance No, I did not let myself be forced into submission Always with hungry heart and open mind But I would do it yet again, yeah And go out with a grin on my face My friends carry me to the pyre This bonfire lit only for me I have come to terms with the world To be able to see the curtains fall Celebrate the infinite passion By which this fate was set in motion Once kindled by discontent And my feet start moving on their own So scatter my ashes throughout the lushest of forests For I was to see it all Having been born with zero temperance So scatter my ashes atop the highest of mountains For I was to see it all Having been born with zero temperance
