Everything in this room is eatable, even *I'm* eatable! But that is called "cannibalism," my dear children, and is in fact frowned upon in most societies.

As your golden years fade
You probably regret a decision or two you have made
As your bones get tired and sore
You stop caring what people think anymore
As your heart fails you
You think of all the things you didn't do
As you pass away
You knew it was all right and down you lay



So down you had laid
I guess death isn't something you can evade
So heaven opened its door
And your soul was on earth no more
The pain is still fresh and new
Sometimes I wish you had taken me with you
I guess it wasn't my day
But I will see you again and till then I will be okay.
