Story Behind The Song
Like most of my songs they either come out of me at night or when I wake up or when I go into this trance like state. Most of my songs are about the reality of life unless it's a piece of garbage/commercial (the flavor of the month song).

Intro Hook Music
Verse
The moan in your voice tells me everything I need to know
Trying so hard to mask but everything shows
Playing the part of a puppet caught in the strings
Deep down I know you know everything
Chorus
First your up then you're down
With a long list of pains
All the Doctors keep saying not to do that again
Verse
You trip and you fall down the same day after day
Dieing in darkness with no light to show you the way
You don't need a soul or a heart with money to burn
But burnings the only way you've been taught to learn
Chorus
First your up then you're down
With a long list of pains
All the Doctors keep saying not to do that again
Bridge
If you're not afraid to die then what are you afraid of
No If you're not afraid to die then what is it exactly that are you're afraid of
If you're not afraid to die then then you have nothing to be afraid of
No If you're not afraid to die you have nothing to be afraid of
Verse
If you stop being crazy then one day you won't be insane
And if you don't like this life then you can play another game
Chorus
First your up then you're down
With a long list of pains
All the Doctors keep telling not to do that again
Bridge
If you're not afraid to die then what are you afraid of
If you're not afraid to die then what is it exactly that are you're afraid of
No If you're not afraid to die then you have nothing to be afraid of
No If you're not afraid to die you have nothing to be afraid of
Then you have nothing to be afraid of
Afraid to die
