Dear Death...With Regret. Lyrics in Description.

(Verse 1) I’m sitting in the quiet with a pen against the page, Trying to count the quiet debts I’ve gathered with my age. I know you’ve seen my footsteps as I wandered off the track, And every time I took a road I couldn't carry back. (Verse 2) I didn't mean to hurt the ones who loved me most along the way, I was chasing foolish shadows, making promises I couldn't pay. Pride was always standing right where humble should have been, And I traded precious silver for the heavy weight of sin. (Chorus) So hear this final letter before you call my name, I’m standing in the doorway with no excuse or blame. I know my hands are dirty from the choices that I’ve made, So when you come to take me, let the cold edge be delayed— Have mercy on a weary heart when the final shadows fade. (Verse 3) I’m not asking for a second life, or time to start anew, I only ask for gentle hands when I am brought to you. The world has been a battlefield I lost inside my mind, Leave the anger in the dust and leave the guilt behind. (Chorus) So hear this final letter before you call my name, I’m standing in the doorway with no excuse or blame. I know my hands are dirty from the choices that I’ve made, So when you come to take me, let the cold edge be delayed— Have mercy on a weary heart when the final shadows fade. (Outro) The ink is drying slowly, the candle burns down low, I’ve laid out all my failures so at least you'll truly know. When the dark comes pulling, and my breathing turns to air, Answer this last letter... with a quiet, peaceful prayer.
