It's okay to die a little...

It's what keeps you truly alive.

I was sure my prize was in my hands...
When I looked again it had turned to sand.
It seems I am nothing now, but I'm still a man.

Surprises are for the excitible.
Not for me, payer of the liars toll.
Sold it all for a chance of something more.
Sold it all, but I'll never sell my soul.

I was sure my prize was in my grasp.
When I looked again I'd gone from first to last.
It seems I've got nothing now, but I've still got my past.
