Waiting with bated breath
For the next passing death
Every single passing car
Opportunity, mind ajar
Every blade and every lake
Every bridge my life to take
I don't want, I don't need
Yet cannot take the passing speed
Wheels are turning round and round
My heart abeat beneath the ground
Never longer on my sleeve
Never stronger smiles deceive
All is well and all is right
Until alone I snuff the light
Waiting with bated breath
For the next passing death
