Scarlet ..... - can i keep pace with death

I need to get away
for I can no longer take it
I have lived my life running from death
then I used to case after it
but no I want to run with it
for it is the only way to live
accept that it can take you any minute
and live how you want to
for when you are gone
you will not care wether you lived that last day
to the best you could have
because you will be dead
so I am now running
chasing death
trying to get to its side
I am gaining
lets just hope I can keep up

Scarlet .....
